Jade Hawkmoth.

Daphnis Hypothous or the Jade hawkmoth, is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is a very fast flyer and is attracted to both sweet-smelling flowers and light. It differs from Daphnis nerii in having the head and collar uniformly dark purplish brown. Thorax and first two abdominal segments are dark green with a white fringe to the first segment. Other abdominal segments are dark olive green with the streaks and spots as in D. nerii. Wings are similar to D. nerii but very much darker on both dorsal and ventral side. A white spot is present at the apex of forewing and at the end of cell of forewing ventral side. #TheGirlWithACamera5 #pindle #pindleindia #insect #moth #nature
