Description: | The Convolvulus hawkmoth is normally found in southern Europe and Africa. However, each summer a few are carried north on southerly winds and arrive in Britain. Here they are most often seen in gardens, visiting large, fragrant flowers such as Petunias at dusk. The caterpillar is also occasionally recorded in this country, but it is unlikely that the animal could survive our cold winter temperatures. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.invertebratezoology.20042 | Go to resource |
