An Elephant Hawk-moth on the seedhead of an ornamental poppy. The moth is all pointy angles and vibrant pink; the seedhead is almost circular and pale blue-green. The picture is from the side and the moth is preparing to fly, so side of the body and underside of the wings are showing, with white legs contrasting against the pink body. It also has some details in a warm olive green.
I doubled my previous record count of Elephant Hawkmoth last night! (i.e. there were two)
Batrachedra pinicolella/confusella was NFG but I fumbled the process of getting it into a pot. Bad news for my garden list, good news for that individual moth, I guess.
