    very nice. That looks like a male from the three-tufted tail!
    Butterfly dogs don't like baths. They only like to puddle... in their own pee!

    My second encounter with this amazing moth. Fair slightly better this time but still with a lot of rooms for improvement

    This is really a great shot Loke!! Now we can clearly see it is a moth.

    Loke, you did well in shooting this difficult moth.
    I was not able to get any decent shot in my last few attempts.

    Congratulations, Martin. You have shot a completely different species there, Cephonodes hylas hylas. There is a second member of this genus found on Sumatra (and on the Peninsular), C. picus, but P. hylas can be distinguished by the white underside of the thorax.

    This Hummingbird Hawkmoth stopped in front of me, and it looked nothing like a Humming bird in this state.
