Another long ass story time, Okay last night There was this giant (much bigger then the Macroglossum_stellatarum) And I thought it was really a hummingbird this time, it kept going in circles around my living room so I opened my door and it NEARLY flew out but it flew an inch too high and then ran into my hallway and behind my bookcase which at this point is just 1 solid mass of spiderwebs. So I thought I doomed the poor Moth-thing, but I saw it was still alive and just hanging on to the side of the book case, I went and got a brass pipe to nudge it out, a noodle strainer and piece of paper to capture it in and let it outside, but when I got back it was gone, I had already spent about 2 hours trying to rescue it so I decided to go to sleep when I wake up it's crawled on my floor and I nearly stepped on it, I put it in a giant coffee can and I put it outside but it has not moved since, It's still alive but it's just sort of sitting there, while checking out the species of hawk moth I stumbled on this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daphnis_nerii and there is not a shred of doubt in my mind that is what this thing is, It has the EXACT same coloration as the picture, but I live in North america and the wiki entry says you are lucky to see it in europe, so I'm wondering what the hells going on, and if It's nocturnal which is why it's not leaving the coffee can. if you bothered to read this I thank you.
