New Pet!!!!!

is it a Moth?
 
@#£$%! that flickr clue made it too easy -- but he's not a moth, least not yet!
can you guess which one??

nothing to do with flicker, you said smaller than a harvest mouse and that it was born with no hair/fur. So it had to be a moth in my mind


Elephant Hawk Moth??
 
Hah great guess! - though it could have been a butterfly (unless all their grubs have furryspines on them)

He just appeared in the garden (apparently the cat was playing with him) and now he is in a tank with some leaves and plants to eat (the right kind too). So here is hoping for some good pics of the crysalis and maybe even the hatching too
 
such a shame we don't get Atlas Moths over here


 
Yah -- though I was at a butterfly house yesterday where they were breeding some - sadly it a good 2 hours from where I am and I have little chance of getting back to see them when they hatch
 
OK, now where are the pictures...?
 
yah...... I was hoping to get some, but heat....... and me going down with something mean nothing so far :(

hopefully if this blows over tomorrow
 
hehe look up Peter - your a bit late ;)
