This poplar hawk-moth was attracted to the ultra-violet light of a moth-trap that I set up in our garden a few years ago. They like willows, watersides, woodlands and gardens, so our location here at the lower end of Coxley Valley offers a perfect habitat.
Unlike other hawk-moths, it holds its hind-wings out at right angles so that they project in front of the fore-wings.
