Moths in Lanzarote

Recently we treated to a new visitor on our terrace. I apologise for the poor quality of the picture, but you get the basic idea of how large this fella was! We’ve certainly not seen anything this size before! It gives you an idea of just one of the fantastic insects in Lanzarote

It has been suggested that it may be a Hawk Moth. If anyone can confirm this, or knows different.. then do drop us an email or leave a comment below.

Anyway – here’s the star of the show! Click the image to see him larger.
