This night butterfly was found in Bruges (St Michiels). It was resting on a cement stone along the sidewalk. I almost did not see it as it blended quite wel with the background.
This butterfly is called Sphinx ligustri (see: http://www.natuurfotoalbum.be/map/showphoto.php?photo=52136; http://tpittaway.tripod.com/sphinx/s_lig.htm) and is not to be mistaken with Agrius cingulatus (see: http://www.guianensis.fr/images/sphingidae/sphinginae/sphingini/Guy%2000980-s3.jpg; http://tpittaway.tripod.com/sphinx/a_cin.htm; http://www.leps.it/indexjs.htm?SpeciesPages/AgriuConv.htm; http://www.silkmoths.bizland.com/acingula.htm) |
