Poplar Hawk-moth.

Species: Laothoe populi.

 

Despite its name you don't have to live near poplars to see this hawkmoth. Its larvae do feed on a wide range of poplars but also on various willows. This is the most widely distributed hawkmoth in Britain and is a common visitor to gardens. Info: Saga/Home-garden / magazine.

 

Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
