Marj , Hawk Moth (June theme: In my backyard)

I walked into my garden one day to find my one of my Pentas bushes completely stripped. Upon looking closely I discovered huge, brown caterpillars were the culprits. I took two inside and bred them through. After pupating there was a further few weeks wait before two beautiful Hawk Moths emerged. I photographed them then let them go.
