It's actually a moth not a butterfly. The main difference between both species is that moths are quite sturdier than butterflies.

This is not a butterfly but a moth. It is known as Eumorpha fasciatus
I'm glad this can be found in Nigeria

Daphnis nerii (formerly Deilephila nerii), the oleander hawk-moth or army green moth , is a moth of the Sphingidae family.
Re: See 'Soldier' Butterfly I Saw In My House by walemetro: 1:33pm On Jun 01, 2017
before you correct someone check your own facts. it is a moth. a hawk moth. but not the pandora sphinx moth as you claim as that is only found in North America. its a close relative.The oleander hawk-moth or (Daphnis nerii). Found all over Africa.
