Off Topic - Moth

[Marnix Zwankhuizen <>]

Thanks everyone. It looks like a Privet Hawk Moth.

I'll use Canberra Nature Map in future.

Hi Marnix

I have been uploading any moth sightings around my house to Canberra Nature Map, where usually the expert moderators there can ID the species.  I had one similar to that, possibly the same, that was given the ID of Privet hawk moth (same suggestion that Anthony gave).  Scientific name Psilogramma menephron.

Here is a link to my sighting: http://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Sighting/3368212

I now upload any insect or living thing that I can get a good photo of - it's sort of addictive, actually.

Kind regards

Matthew

I found a beautiful large moth on our house wall tonight in Forde. Photo attached. Any clues as to what species?

And does anyone know if there a good online ID site for moths covering the ACT and NSW?
