1991 Deilephila elpenor (Elephant Hawkmoth)
Sphingidae, Macroglossinae Wingspan: 74mm.
This is one of the commonest UK Hawkmoths, and the above specimen had just emerged from the pupa, so it's colours were fresh and pristine. The colours mimic the flowers of the Rosebay Willowherb (Chamerion angustifolium), a large wild plant which grows in swathes on wild or disused ground. It is also one of the food plants for the caterpillars.
