Same length as a Bic lighter. Probably same species at different stages.

Anyone know what moth/butterfly the become?

Sorry, don't know the species, but looks super cool. Thanks for the photos.

The brown one I thought looks like it's pi--ed off with everything. ????????

Found it.

Daphnis Neri.

Becomes what I call the super ninja combat kit moth.

Deathshead Hawkmoth maybe?

The photos I took show the same little tail like thing so very likely, just a different stage of development I suppose.

Didn't kill them by the way. Just transferred to a large tree outside the garden.
