Скачать или смотреть Poplar Hawk-Moth

I couldn't believe my eyes yesterday as I went back to a room to clean, I just had to stop and rush for my phone to take photos, these Hawk Moths are so rare! Well I haven't seen many anyway.
Little did I know, all of the time it was on the lightshade while I was hoovering underneath!
Straight away I knew it was a Hawk-Moth, though I don't think I have seen this one before, it is a Poplar Hawk-Moth. Years ago I saw something similar, must dig the photos out.
I was shaking with excitement, as I am a bit obsessed with anything Moth related especially with these big Hawk Moths.
It flew around the room like a little Bat, it eventually landed on the curtain, I cupped it in my hands carefully and let it out of the window.
