Some excitement last night when we found this large moth. More images in the PiPs (the second taken with the new phone). I think it is a species of Hawk Moth, but Australia has 10,000 named moth species and, it's estimated, probably as many again that are un-named, so I won't try to be definitive. :-)

Wonderful close-up of this interesting moth. It is amazing that it landed and that you could take a close-up photo if it in your hand!
