    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
