Convolvulus Hawk-moth
I am gladly coming up with some fascinating hawk-moth pictures that I found hibernating in my front yard. it is nocturnal, and rest all the day. This moth has a cute body with two soft horns. I like seeing it that way as it allowed me to take the pictures from any angle I like. It can often be seen on walls, rocks and tree trunks or sometime around your house. They are attracted to light and can be seen from dusk to dawn. Known as Convolvulus Hawk-moth, named for its larval food plant convolvulus (bindweed) and its hawk-like appearance. It likes to nectar on tobacco plants and ginger lilies among other flowers. Through its appearance, we can clearly see that this hawk moth has grey in color and two soft black antennae make this moth look more beautiful which is why I never let this thing went away from my sight.

Stunning clicks. You got the best angle to photograph this little moth.
@abduhawab,
These insects are seen mostly in the summer season. They look beautiful under the tubelight, I have capsicum plants on my balcony and sometimes I see them among the trees. From certain angles, their feathers look amazing. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful picture with us.
