Privet Hawk Moth (Showing my hand for scale)

Last week, I went to visit my friend Ajophotog (on IP) who had kindly set out his moth trap the night before. We spend quite a while photographing, identifying and then releasing them. Great fun! The highlight for me was this magnificent Privet Hawk Moth.......I hope you like it as much as I do. (Photo credit Ajophotog - using my camera and hand)!

I'd never manage to let a moth sit on my hand, I'd run away screaming;-) The big ones I just try to catch in a glass and release outside, the smaller ones get murdered before they eat my clothes or foodstuff...
