Hello,

I photographed this woolly hawk on ivy at the end of May 2022. Is it possible to determine the species? Unfortunately I do not have a size reference

Thank you and greetings Volker

Possibly a Villa hottentotta. Looks strikingly similar to this iNat image: https://www.inatu.../137320405

Hi guplox,

that could fit, a male. Maybe someone else has an opinion?

Greetings, Volker

Male Villa hottentotta is correct.
