Your letter to the bugman: Hi!
This moth stopped by and stuck with me for an hour. Ive never seen a moth like it, and was super interested to know what it was? Thank you!
How you want your letter signed: Melanie
Dear Melanie,
We apologize for the long delay. We had identified your Hawkmoth as Macroglossum errans on Butterfly House before the world as we know it changed due to COVID-19, but we did not complete a posting. This pretty little moth does not have a common name. There are also some images on the Butterflies of a Dorrigo Garden and Moths site where it states: “”Flight habit: Nocturnal – Active at night including early evening.”
