Elephant hawk-moth

Talk about there being an elephant in the room, here it is. It started out on our lounge wall, moved to some flowers and then we took the opportunity to move the flowers (and therefore the moth) outdoors so it could make its escape. It was still quite happy on the flowers, so it modeled for us for a while.

Contrast with background outstanding, and colours of the moth fascinating. Like.
