Hummingbird Hawkmoth has been snapped by me in Kolkata on slides more than 3 - 4 yrs ago. I could ID it only about a year later by a photo on Flickr. Rare animals & plants sps can be seen in Metro cities also, but we fail to notice them or ID them correctly. I had also once seen a Glass Beetle ( seen in N Bengal ) in my roof top garden, and could ID it only from a photo in a wildlife exhibition. With all the Treepix friends, in time IDs will be known. Unknown IDs are a challenge.

I had seen similar moth only on Discovery channel. Nice to see it here from India. Satish 2009/1/11 Rajesh Sachdev <[email protected]> On behalf of my freind, who shot this beautifull flower in the monsoons of 2008 in Matheran, Mumbai's Wildlife Region. During those days, I was away from my camera, but, my dude frnd. took opportunity and got the glimpse of the Bummble bee on the plant. Thanks Amish, for this wonder full pic you sent. On his behalf, I would like to nominate this as Flora of the year for 2008. -- http:// satishphadke.blogspot.com Get rid of Add-Ons in your email ID get [email protected].
