Right you are sir. I always check suggestions, speaking of which do you perhaps know what this little guys is: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/38481007? Someone said a hawkmoth, but I'm not sure.

You welcome, this one is just too beautiful, you are lucky to have found it! I could be a turtle ninja though but i'm not a professional in identifying so should always check my suggestions before accepting them :)
