    Default Swallow-tailed Moth - Ourapteryx sambucaria

    Must've been perched on my curtains when i closed them last night to go to bed, then landed on the wall after briefly fluttering around. Not here this morning, must've found a quiet spot to hide away. Not a small moth at around 3cm, this one looks to have been in the wars.

    Must be a really nice moth when it's whole. Nice shot of it as well.

    Yep - it's had a bit of a narrow squeak - lovely moth, though.

    It never seems to slow them down, though.
