Oleander Hawk-moth
Daphnis neriiSpotted by Dan Doucette
Kumasi, Ashanti Region, Ghana
Spotted on Dec 20, 2003
Description: Freshly emerged specimen with exceptionally bright and purple colors. I did not change the color on this photo or edit it strongly, besides a small crop and a hint of brightness. I have also added the original, unedited photo.
Habitat: rainforest
Notes: I spotted this on the wall of the guesthouse at Baobeng Fiema monkey sanctuary. Thanks to experts Latimeria, bayucca and Roy Goff for confirming that this is D. nerii.
Moths are the betterflies!
