The Hawkmoths guide features the adults and caterpillars of 18 British species of hawkmoths.

Hawkmoths are some of the most spectacular insects in Britain and Ireland. Although they look exotic, they are actually surprisingly common. Adult elephant, poplar, privet and lime hawkmoths fly at dusk and rest on tree trunks. Snake-like hawkmoth caterpillars crawl through many gardens, parks and open spaces. And an unforgettable sight is the day-flying hummingbird hawkmoth, using its long proboscis to feed on deep flowers like honeysuckle and red valerian.
