Tersa Sphinx Moth (Xylophanes tersa)

Tersa Sphinx Moth (Xylophanes tersa)
I have had other similar Sphinx moths here but this was a first for this species.

We were smashed into 7 days ago (25th Oct) whilst stationary, by 2 colliding cars at a T Juction and our car was written off. We are ok.. bumped and bruised and sore but very very lucky. We are still dealing with the Insurance but as the innocent party we are getting things done. We have had to get another car.. and we hope to have the claim settled by the end of the week.

I am a bit fragile after this past few months but all will be well. I am a bit slow commenting... but I am loving seeing your photos.

This hasnt been an easy year... but we are alive to tell the tale.

EXPLORED !

Great you are OK, seems a few of us on our particular circuit of contacts are not having a great time at the moment. Still this photo brings a cheering glow of colour to warm us all up. Hope you are back to 100% real soon.

Your delightful image is more cheery than your footnote, Pam. Sorry to learn of the incident but relieved that there were no injuries.
My last car was written off by two colliding cars, on a Friday the 13th, whilst I was in the shower and it took the relevant insurance companies over a month to agree that I was the innocent party!

Thankyou Neil !

But you were in the shower... its obvious you streaked out and pushed your car into theirs !

I am very glad you are both ok Pam. I had two ladies drive into my last car within 30 minutes and between them they wrote it off. I know the difficulty with dealing with multiple insurance companies. I would be happy you survived without life changing injuries.

Pam J club has replied to Maeluk club
Thankyou Steve.

Yes.. we are very very lucky. the car that smashed into Jay's wing.. the woman was not wearing a seatbelt.... she is just out of ICU and does have life changing injuries.... she is lucky to be alive..., I still see flashbacks of her.
