    I looks like a type of moth. The kind called a hummingbird moth. But who knows. MB

    Yes, as SCS said it is a moth, but which variety?

    When I first opened this I thought I was looking at something under a leaf.
    I'd say some kind of moth, but I don't believe it is a hummingbird moth - the wings look way too big.
    I love the big eye though.
    Great capture.

    I don't know either, but it is lovely, so fragile looking -- but probably isn't. Great photo!

    You must open the windows with the lights on! You do get some very interesting and beautiful moths. Can't ID it, though - just appreciate!

    Not entirely sure what it is - but I do like the shots of all the Fiat 1100 D taxis lined up in your previous post.

    I have no idea what this is other than a moth. I'm sure some one out there must be able to identify it. I wonder if it s specific to your part of the world.

    It looks like a Tersa Sphinx, but it's hard to tell without seeing the wing pattern and how large it is, but if you Google Sphinx moths you will see that the wing shape is very similar to the Tersa Sphinx.
