Vine Hawk Moth
Hippotion celerio
28.6573, 77.2273
Field Notes
Description:
I find this moth quite angular...no soft curves but very geometrical. Touch of red on the wings brighten up an otherwise drab brown.
Habitat:
Saw it first on a staircase where I photographed it using a flash (second photo) and then it entered the room and settled on a curtain (first photo). Perhaps it did not like being stalked and it flew away.
Notes:
Also known as Silver-striped Hawk-Moth.
