Eyed hawkmoth — size comparison — facts and sources

The eyed hawkmoth inhabits willow and other host-tree landscapes including parks and gardens. Adults are chiefly nocturnal and inconspicuous at rest, suddenly revealing hindwings when disturbed to deter attackers.

Caterpillars use willows and apple trees among other hosts. Adults do not feed and rely on previously accumulated energy.
