Very nice find of Daphnis nerii. The moth has a pronounced pattern on the upper wing surface. I also like your description and the explanation of the characteristics of a moth. Basically, butterflies differ from moths by their antennae. In butterflies these are always piston-shaped. With the moths only the antennae of the females are thread-shaped. The males have fanned antennae because they have to smell the female with them.
