Malt 379 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Elephant hawk moth Rolfe. I found one myself: It'll turn into one of these with a bit of luck: I kept him in a container with a bit of soil and some fuchsia leaves, and he's now span himself a cocoon, and turned into a chrysalis. Hopefully he'll pop out next may or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
