I've been going through unsorted accessions in the #Australian National #Insect #Collection (#ANIC) here in Canberra to find any plume #moths (#Pterophoridae) and many-plume moths (#Alucitidae) before doing more work to revise the fauna of these two families.
Today, I found this specimen collected by David Rentz in #Kuranda #Queensland in 2007 - it's not a known named Australian species but it looks a close match for Platyptilia microbscura recorded only from #Misool, an island to the west of #NewGuinea:

Evolutionary arms race stretches #hawkmoths and #flowers to extremes https://phys.org/news/2026-05-evolutionary-arms-hawkmoths-extremes.html paper: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article/13/3/251697/480661/The-evolution-of-proboscis-length-and-feeding
"the earliest hawkmoths did not feed as adults... The first evidence of adult feeding in hawkmoths appears around 44 million years ago. From there, the trait quickly caught on... But the path to long-tongued, nectar-guzzling #moths is not linear. Many species gained and lost it multiple times, shifting from nonfeeding to feeding and back"

Callidula sumatrensis spotted at Upper Seletar Reservoir Park, Singapore on 27 April 2025. Despite appearances, this is a moth, not a butterfly, and one that is seldom seen.

POPLAR HAWK-MOTH
Laothoe populiCommon, but impressive with a 9cm wingspan in flight and the cutest of cute Muppet-like fuzzy face.
