Paul, Thanks for posting those photos. I am sure now that Pedro's specimens are indeed P. menephron. I had forgotten that the easy character to distinguish the two species is the colour of the abdomen underside. In P. increta it is white, unlike Pedro's specimens. It is probably about 30 years since I looked at real specimens of Thai Sphingidae in detail. Adam. This is again proof how we benefit from the forum like this. I didn’t even notice the abdomen differences until you Adam pointed it out. Learn something all the time. Paul |

Great photos and specimens, Paul. Thank you so much. I'm still learning fom my mistakes spreading lepidoptera, but it's also true they were not in perfect condition as I received them. Nothing like spreading them fresh-caught.

Nothing like spreading them fresh-caught. Actually my were dried in envelops for more than two years, so as you can see they can be spread pretty good after all, just need a practice, you’ll get there. Paul |
