ABT WILDLIFE FACTS - VINE (SILVER STRIPED)  HAWK MOTH

-


Hippotion celerio is a migratory Hawk Moth, restricted to the southern hemisphere.

As caterpillars, they can sometimes be pests. The caterpillars grow large and need a lot of food to reach full size! Some of the food plants include Grapevines, Impatiens and Rumex.

The adult moths are most active at night. During the day they might be seen resting on rocks and walls, or in the grass. They're common to gardens, but can be found in a variety of habitats where flowers are plentiful.
