[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Walking one morning near forest, thru dew-wetted green meadows, a pink jewel attracted my attention in the grasses.
It was a Small elephant hawk-moth, Deilephila porcellus, a beautiful and quite common moth from Sphingidae family. It is medium sized, the wingspan reaching up to 5 cm. In northen Romania has a sigle flight, from june to august. It is possible that in southern parts of the country, like Black Sea shore and Dobrogea region to have two flights.
Larva feeds on Epilobium and Galium plants.

Salut Petru

Superba imagine cu un splendid animal!
Sincer trebuie sa recunosc ca nu am vazut nici un asemenea exemplar...mai mult ca sigur ca l-as fi retinut :)
Excelent punct de vedere, culori foarte frumose, si detalii bune.
Sper sa am si eu oportunitatea la anul sa vad vre-unul :)

Bravo si TFS

Very nice macro-shot. Good natural colours but JPG compression level is too high I think

Hi Petru

Hello Petru,

Although very common, I've never seen this species before! Actually I've never seen a pink moth before. You've captured this one very good. I like the composition and POV but would have preferred a plain background. The colors are wonderful and green and pink go together very well. It definitely is a very interesting species to me! Thanks for sharing!

With Friendly Regards,
Eddie

Hi Petru,
This is a new one to me.
I've never seen a pink Hawk Moth before.
A very interesting addition to TNs moth collection.
