#coprosma hawk moth

[onenicebugperday]

@grow-and-decay submitted: A little assortment of bugs from [removed] NSW, Australia (please remove ‘[removed]’ part). First two pictures are the same insect.

I’m pretty sure the little green one is a leafhopper of some sort and the moth is Sphingidae, but any other info is appreciated :)

Your other message you sent was correct and the first dude is indeed a hoverfly. Maybe a female common halfband. The green dude is actually a Dictyopharid planthopper rather than a leafhopper. The only similar species I could find in your area would be Hasta hastata, so maybe that!

You're also right the moth is a sphinx moth! Specifically looks like a coprosma hawk moth, Hippotion scrofa. The spider, as far as I can tell just from that photo, is a prowling inland spider, Ceryerda cursitans, which is a type of ground spider in the family Gnaphosidae.

I saw you weren't feeling well so I thought I'd send some piccies of my coprosma hawk moth that hatched a couple of weeks ago 🫶🫶

hope they make you feel a lil better!!

You are so wonderful, thank you!! What a lovely little moth!

If the Boys are moths what moths will they be??

ooh ok fun!! if you guys disagree with me, sound off in the replies but just remember you'll be beefing about moths! (i wont mind lol) JULIEN. obviously the og Favor moth but im gonna give her another one too. feels right aesthetically. tell me im wrong!!!! Spurge hawk-moth and Dirphia horcana moth (not super sure on the exact name tbh its confusing)

PHOEBE. actually no im gonna give them all two!! again am i wrong. am i wrong!!!! im impressed with myself lol!! (the death's head hawk moth would've been too on the nose so im replacing it with the maybe even more obvious choice of the upsidedown cross moth lol) Lymantriine Moth and Hail Haploa clymene moth

LUCY. somehow lucy was the most difficult but I'm happy with my choices do you see the vision!? <333 Chinese luna moth and Cizara ardeniae (Coprosma Hawk Moth)

there are so many moths guys this was choice paralysis hell lol (but enjoyable)

@official-minecraft-bee submitted: lots of pretty moths out at this time of year (east australia)! in order they are: coprosma hawk moth, pink-bellied moth, abantiades argyrosticha, australasian privet hawk moth, convolvulus hawk moth, and gastrophora henricaria! hope you like them as much as i did!!

I don't like them I LOVE THEM. Moths are so good and particularly sphinx moths, although I love all of these. That last one is so stylish dang...10/10 moth design
