Spotted on the way to work one morning!
This was in an Industrial area and had no Collar. So I'm not sure if it was feral or someones pet.

This is the moth with the huge proboscis that Darwin predicted must exist to match the existence of an orchid with a very long spur (Angraecum sesquipedale). A couple cool videos about this story:

I can't believe I didn't know I took pictures of this species until 6 years after the fact! It's one of my absolute favorite evolutionary biology stories!
