Nephele vau

Nephele vau is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is common throughout most of Africa south of the Sahara, but rarer in southern Africa.[2]

The length of the forewings is 25–31 mm. The black abdominal spots are somewhat diffuse and narrow. The ground colour is variable, ranging from pale greyish buff to coppery-brown and to olive-green. The forewings have a large dark olive to reddish-brown subtriangular spot. There is a V-shaped golden-white stigma. The hindwings are olive bordered with brown or copper.

The larvae feed on Carissa edulis.
