Re: Acherontia atropos (Death's Head Hawkmoth)

Thanks for all the replies My grandma seemed to think he got all his Moths and Butterflies around here, but there was a few species that I wouldn't expect around here, Swallowtail and Marbled Whites etc, but this was a long tiem ago so things could have been different back then

I was amazed by the size of the Death's head and the Convolvulus Hawk moths, although the Deaths head was much bigger, probably bigger than some small birds
