Not sure tbh, I'm no moth expert. I hadn't seen one until a few days ago, looks just like a piece of crinkled paper from a distance.
We moved into our house about 4 years ago and have been doing more to encourage wildlife in (pond, wildflowers, don't mow the grass, let things get a bit overgrown) and we get lots of cool bugs (I think) as a resut of that. Had a convulvulus hawk moth a couple of years ago, I'll see if I can find the photo.

I guess the tail section is supposed to mimic eyes? Never seen one of these before, nice pic!
