Sulawesi Hummingbird Hawkmoth (Macroglossum corythus) Our last day in our cabin this beauty entered in and was trying to fly away but got stucked at the window glasses. Made the customary pics and released him before he would suffer too much stress. He seemed a bit old and rugged but still very pretty. <br /> May 31, 2018.<br /> <a href="http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/sphi/corythus.html" rel="nofollow">http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/sphi/corythus.html</a> Geotagged,Indonesia,Macroglossum corythus,Spring Click/tap to enlarge Species introCountry intro
