    Default Two Heads are better than One...

    Thanks for all the contributions by the experts, meantime just waiting for the outcome to see what comes out from the caterpillar. While waiting, here are two pictures, one that shows the head patterns of the Hawk Moth Cat and another, one that is going through the Chrysalis stage I think..

    I am really looking forward to the eclosion. Although I am a butt freak, I do have a soft spot for the Hawkmoths.

    looking good so far.
    try not to let the pupa get too dry (a light spray mist every few days is good if you keep the pupa indoors).

    cheers, Roger.

    Thumbs up The Hawk is Here....

    The Hawk is finally here. The Hawk Moth, the transformation of the scary serpent looking caterpillar, dark brownish, resembles that of a hawk. Does it have any ID?
    Thanks.

    Default Thanks for the ID

    Thanks Roger for the ID, with that, I managed to find on another website, a similar kind that was found in Hong Kong. As Roger mentioned, this is the Allocasius Sphinx Moth
    (Sphingidae Macroglossinae Eupanacra mydon - Walker, 1856).
    The website I found was

    Thank you.
