The Silver-striped Hawk Moth (Hippotion celerio) is a moth of the Sphingidae family. They are also known as vine hawk moth or grapevine hawk moth, may be because grape vine is one of the host plants for the Silver-striped Hawk Moth caterpillar/larva.

Great shot of this moth. I'll have to check our grape vines to see if any of these creatures live there.
Beautiful moths. At night they sometimes fly inside my room through the window driven by light of my lamp :-)
Insects, are they are beautiful.
