Bedstraw hawkmoth — size comparison — facts and sources

The bedstraw hawkmoth has olive-brown forewings with pale stripes and pinkish dark-banded hindwings. It uses host-plant habitats including open areas, woodland margins and low vegetation.

Caterpillars feed on bedstraws and willowherbs. Appearance changes during growth, so one larval colour does not describe the species. Adults visit flowers and strong flight connects suitable sites.
