Most describe it as the 'beast' or 'monster' - Death's-Head Hawkmoth.....
As freaky as they come!
A fence post is one thing but you get a sense of just how big they are when against a familiar object like an arm, hand or finger?
The colourful orange underside.....
A body fit to put a hornet to shame!
And in the open fingers - the mother of all moths!!
I'm indebted to Mick and Will Scott for there hospitality and laying on a Cattle Egret too!!The moth was released later that evening ....
