PREVIOUS MOTH NEXT MOTH Thailand

The Oleander Hawk-moth derives its name from the fact that in the caterpillar stage (fig.), this species feeds on the for humans highly toxic leaves of Oleander (fig.). Members of this species have camouflage colours reminiscent to those used by the military and are hence also referred to as Army Green Moths.
