I am Pergesa acteus, a hawkmoth feeding on Alocasia, Caladium, Colocasia and Dieffenbachia. I am Filipino so those are my host plants here. I heared my cousins in other Asian countries eat some other plants. Now i am obliged by this entity to pose for her camera. She used a lot of tricks to make me assume different poses. But in reality she is depriving me some sleep as it is daytime and i am supposedly deep asleep by now. I hope with my cooperation, in a little while she will let me be!
In a few more days i will assume to be a pupa, a transition for me to be an adult moth to fly, eat, mate and produce more hawkmoths.
Wow beautiful! Great shots.

my goodness - what amazing eyes! I must say I don't like to get too close to little "creatures". Have a great week and thank you so much for visiting my blog last week.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant photos!
ReplyDeleteFascinating - the size of the body and the 'eye' really deceives you into thinking the "head" is farther back on the body. Love these pictures!
