I grew one from a caterpillar when I was a kid. My Granddad put the caterpillar in a plastic grow box with some privet cuttings. The caterpillars are covered in brown/ black hairs. It went to chrysalis, then came the time it broke out into this beautiful moth. I gave it sugar water, and it crapped on my thumb. When it's wings filled out, we took photos and let it go. I never forgot the lime green and magenta colours, and the pre- flight vibration warm-up. Fantastic animals!

You should see when they "Hover" at night, back in time when they did not know about this Moth, they thought it was an smaller Humming bird, it Hover exactly like that and the sound is crazy. Some are capable of flying at over 5.3 m/s (19 km/h) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphingidae
