Turns out they are related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphingidae -

Dave Morriss (perloid@quitter.se)'s status on Monday, 02-Oct-2017 15:16:53 UTC Dave Morriss @chalkahlom Never seen one in real life. Very difficult to photograph without a very fast shutter speed I'd imagine -

vegos (veg05@gnusocial.de)'s status on Monday, 02-Oct-2017 15:36:37 UTC vegos @perloid @chalkahlom He wrote me, he uses very high ISO and an extreme short shutter time. But I forgot the exact number. He also has a 400mm lens, I think. -

vegos (veg05@gnusocial.de)'s status on Monday, 02-Oct-2017 16:00:18 UTC vegos @perloid @chalkahlom I found his video again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu45fhXMOzU Looks more like a 200mm lens and no flash used. He is quite friendlly on Twitter. -

vegos (veg05@gnusocial.de)'s status on Monday, 02-Oct-2017 19:14:14 UTC vegos @lnxw48a1 @perloid @chalkahlom This year I found a similar caterpillar of this thing: http://www.schmetterlinge-westerwald.de/untergruppe/familie/unterfamilie/index.php?settings=0&vorschau=&ansicht=1&gruppeid=1&untergruppeid=1&familieid=6&id=87&portait_gewaehlt=1&type=100&type2=0 Normally it's better not to disturb, but it crawled on a heavy walked pavement. I brought it to a near small park. I did not know on which plant if feeds. Would like to see the beautiful moth. In conversation permalink
