hastingsmothman , 12 days ago to random BANGER ALERT! These are pretty common, to be fair, but it's a first time visitor to my garden. He was rather reluctant to let me see his pink and blue undergarments, but he did eventually consent to a quick flash: EYED HAWK-MOTH #moth #mothing #conservation #lepidoptera #entomology #MothsMatter #pollinators #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #britishwildlife #eye #insect #garden #alttext A close up of an Eyed Hawk-Moth on a palm. The shot is very close focusing in on an exposed hindwing showing the eye. The eye itself starts indigo in the centre with a ring of light blue and then a thicker ring of black to finish. The eye is on a largely buff-coloured wing but to there is a flash of crimson pink to the upper part of the hindwing where the top of the eye is. The crimson pink is partially obscured by the stretched out forewing. Front on shot of eyed hawk moth on a finger. It looks like a grey felt ball with a v-shaped snout either side of which sit two black eyes and a small black mohican on the top. The creamy, feathered antennae stretch left and right. Three legs grip the fingers
