The Crepuscular #hawkmoth (Nephele hespera), is well named - olive-green, with two stark white speckles on the wings, this particular individual was nearly invisible in a little strip of scrub-jungle adjoining #Nagaon beach, in #Maharashtra state, Western #india.

Large, beautiful #moths with powerful flights, Hawkmoths are important to us - #pollinators, they make #food for us even as they feed off a variety of wild and cultivated #flora.
