Altre informazioni

Sphinx ligustri, known as the Privet Hawk Moth, is a species of moth found in most of the Palearctic ecozone. It has a 12 centimetres (4.7 in) wingspan, and is found in urban areas, forests and woodlands. As its name describes, the caterpillars feed on privets, as well as ash trees, lilacs, jasmine, and a number of other plants. The caterpillars of the Privet Hawk Moth are green with diagonal white stripes and have a horn present on the end of their tail. This horn looks dangerous, but is quite harmless.
