Death's-head Hawkmoth
Acherontia styx
28.6573, 77.2273
Field Notes
Description:
The skull-like marking says it all. This is a large moth.
Habitat:
I caught this one when it fluttered in through the window. I took two photos before it settled in the space behind a book case and the wall...totally inaccesible.
Notes:
It was eyed longingly by the House Gecko...which may have got it after all because I did not see it the next morning....the gecko was gone too. Perhaps the moth ate it!
