Cat at AH

Found this cat at AH today. Any idea which cat is it?

Looks like a hawk moth to me. :cheers:

Thanks LC.

with the straight knobbly caudal horn ("tail") this is allied to Acherontia - maybe Psilogramma or Meganoton sp., or even possibly Agrius convolvuli.

however, as there are quite a few little black marks (and I'm not referring to the spiracles) on the body, I suspect this has been heavily parasitized.

cheers, Roger.

Thanks for the info Roger.

tag on to the post.

we found this at PU, wonder if it's the same as the one you shot in AH.
