Not so fast!

Not so fast!
Before you open the gate, check the handle! I was surprised to find this Convolvulus Hawk Moth sitting there. In the PiPs a closer image of it, also one of it on the grass. They are found throughout Australia (and I gather many other places) and can grow to 80mm wingspan.

A very nice picture, which I like a lot

Fantastic colours in the gate, and you did well to spot the moth!

Wonderful composition

I cannot be sure it was the same species, but one very similar decided to get into our stairway through the skylight a couple of summers ago. I tried to put it outside, but it must have been at the end of its life span because it never took off. The abdomen had such beautiful colors and design!
Belated HFF, George, and I hope you are having a nice weekend.
