Cheering-up moth- Oleander Hawkmoth



In place of a cheering up bird, this week, we have an Oleander Hawkmoth (Daphnis nerii) ; this stunning photo was taken by Subharghya Das in Mysore, Karnataka, India. This impressive hawkmoth has pale blue caterpillars and is found in large parts of Africa and Asia, even Southern Europe in the Summer.
This image was originally published by Subharghya Das here- http://www.flickr.com/photos/the_mask/3684067620/ and is just one of many beautiful photographs in Mr Das's photostream.
