Sighting Made By Adam Rooze in bishops stortford, Hertfordshire and sent in to wildlife sightings UK

"this afternoon (14/06/11) i rather large pink-bodied moth landed in our garden, seemingly exhausted, i placed it upon a leaf until it flew off once again. I took a picture which you should find in the attachment, and researched it identifying it as a Pink spotted Hawk moth, The closest area - i read - that it had been sighted in was Portugul, as far as i could tell there were no reports of this moth in the UK."
