[QUOTE="MKinHK, post: 3022832, member: 21760"] This one's an Oleander Hawk Moth Alan (which I found outside my office building at HK airport). FWIW HK's top moth-er Roger Kendrick said the following of that record: [I][INDENT]This species wasn't recorded in Hong Kong until c. 1997 First record was from Lantau - possibly introduced coincidentally due to planting of oleander all along the N.Lantau expressway [which connect the airport with the rest of HK]; though it's also quite possible the moth arrived under it's own steam, as the species is a known migrant and is expanding its range throughout the Pacific region. Now well established in HK.[/INDENT][/I] I'm still waiting for an answer from [URL="http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/753433"]i-Naturalist[/URL] on the exact species of the stunner from Lijiang. Cheers Mike [/QUOTE]
