Thierry,
You left out the 'o' in Pseudoclanis. Are you sure that it is that genus/species? After all the original post didn't even say where in the world he is. I would expect it to be an American Sphingid purely on style of English. Just to start with, where I come from the use of "hey" is very rude as it's considered aggressive, but it's normal in America (see the "hey ***" at the top of each page in this forum, for example).
Adam.

I see, you already knew that 'zombieant' lives in South Africa. My apologies, it wasn't stated anywhere in the original question.
Adam.
