ANSWER: This wasn’t easy – but this large and beautiful moth was from Australia and is in the family Xyloryctidae (Philarista sp.). We have a handful of representatives of this group here in the US and Ted MacRae over on Beetles in the Bush has a few great photographs of them.

Constantly flying between flowers and moist sand they were making for easy photography targets. I thought to myself “here is a great opportunity to catch a beetle taking off!”.

Everyone is familiar with the famous death’s head hawkmoth, bet manau, kad gaila, kad išpopuliarinome tokį niūrų personažą. Viršuje yra daug linksmesnis neotropinis Arctiinae iš Prancūzijos Gvianos, kuris atrodo kaip klouno veidas..
