Hi Tom,
This specific one was found at the lobby of my building in the middle of the city...
Back then I've asked someone for the reason it is here and the answer I got was that it like a specific plant we had in the garden.
The plant it like is Oleander http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleander)...
btw, if you like moths, check this one too:http://www.pbase.com/image/77474179 (from Namibia).

Could you tell me where u found this moth? I am living in Malawi and trying to ID a specimen that is identical. If you happen to know what it is that would be great. Thanks. Tom

Yes, this moth called Daphnis nerii belongs to the Sphingidae family...
(its larva also beautiful, silver, yellow head with 2 spots of blue that looks like eyes).
