Description: | The Elephant Hawkmoth is an unmistakable, brightly coloured species of hawkmoth which is found throughout Europe and in parts of Asia. Unlike most other hawkmoth species, it doesn't emerge until well after nightfall, when it can be seen visiting highly scented flowers such as Buddleia and Honeysuckle. The Elephant hawkmoth is one of the more commonly encountered species, as it is frequently attracted to bright lights. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.invertebratezoology.20042 | Go to resource |
