Sphinx pinastri
Sphinx pinastri, known as the Pine Hawk-moth, is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is found in Palearctic ecozone and sometimes the Nearctic ecozone. This species has been found in Scotland but is usually found in England.[2]
The larvae feed on Scots Pine, Swiss Pine, Siberian Pine and Norway Spruce.
Description
Sphinx pinastri's wings are gray with black dashes. The wingspan is 23⁄4–31⁄2 inches (70–89 mm).[3] The moth flies from April to August depending on the location.
The back of the thorax is grey with two dark bands around both sides.[4]
Life
The females lay their eggs in groups of 2 or 3 along pine or spruce needles.[3]
