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.
