It wasn't difficult as it went through the display every time I disturbed it! What you can't see in a picture was the way it rocks up and down during the display, which brought all the visual effects into notice.

Thanks again, Jen. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your Australian Hawkmoths. They are just as impressive. I must admit a long standing interest in this insect family, and our travels usually turn up one or two species where-ever we go. Often, though, the really impressive individuals are the caterpillars, which take a bit more finding.
