Hawkmoth!

One of the great things about perusing the WIngscapes photo gallery is all the surprises it contains; for example, the amazing image of this hawkmoth that was recorded and uploaded by John in Charleston, South Carolina.

 
Thanks to the flash on the BirdCam 2.0, John was able to record what we think is the first ever BirdCam image of a moth. Just how this particular moth, tenatively identified as a Pink-spotted Hawkmoth (Agrius cingulata), lacking the heat signature of a warm-blooded creature managed to trigger the camera is unclear. Nevertheless we are thrilled to be able to share the resulting picture here with everyone and to extend a hearty "Thanks!" and "Well done!" to John.
