It's been way too long since I drew any little critters so here we are - back with a Convolvulus Hawkmoth (Agrius Convolvuli). Both in the adult stage and as a larva 🦋 It's crazy to me how much detail and how many differences there are in the patterning of moth wings, they're like little works of art. And as a large species, the wingspan of these moths can be around 120mm! 🔬 Although they can be found in the UK and northern Europe in the late summer, they actually migrate over from Africa, unable to survive the cold winters in the north ❄️ #hawkmoth #convolvulushawkmoth #agriusconvolvuli #entomology #entomologyart #insectart #inkdrawing #blackandwhite #pointillism #yorkshireartist #bristolartist #mothtattoo #mothart #moth #artistsupport #artistsupportartists #artpromotion #femaleartist #rotringisograph

2023 in 10 pictures isn't enough to tell the whole story, it has been an amazing and life changing year. I dedicated more time to self-improvement, going into "monk mode" and stepping away from social media. This meant I could focus on developing new skills and taking myself to the next level, reading more, completing @the_conqueror_challenges and walked a whopping 1094.36km in just 119 days and have the opportunity to do lots of volunteering and conservation work, connecting with nature and taking care of the most adorable rescue dogs. I had a really fun and exciting experience of competing in the ECG preliminaries and achieving third place together with my pair. Of course, life wouldn't be as incredible without the love and support of great friends and loved ones. From starting a new job with really nice co-workers to growing my own garden along with the other experiences and memories made in 2023, I could sum the year to have been filled with a lot of simple joys and essential things. It was a year of growth, achievement, and connections. The moments I've captured in these 10 pictures only scratch the surface. I'm just hoping the future will unfold gently for me if not even better 👏💜 . . . . . . . #2023 #simplelife #slowliving #outdoors #hiker #hiking #ecg #desuconfrostbite2023 #beautyandthebeastcosplay #disney #valokarnevaali #carnivaloflight #theconquerorchallenges #thefellowshipvirtualchallenge #1000kmchallenge #onedoesnotsimplywalkintomordor #longdistancewalking #ultradistance #fitnessmotivation #howtocreateawildlifegarden #christinelavelle #micklavelle #gardening #convolvulushawkmoth #agriusconvolvuli #kiertokiitäjä #bluepoisondartfrog #sininuolimyrkkysammakko #rescuedog

Easily winning largest moth I saw this year, this is chunky even for a Hawkmoth! This is a Convolvulus Hawk-moth, and with a wingspan nearing 12cm, it covered the whole hand of the little girl who had her first moth encounter with this moth during our torchlight survey evening back in September. If you search the internet for what plants to add to your garden specifically to support moths, lists often feature the long white tubular flowers like nicotiana, the tobacco plant, but that is not a plant that most of our native moths can use. In the UK, this Convolvulus Hawk-moth is one of the very few species with a long enough proboscis to actually reach any nectar from those very long flowers and it is a more ocassional migrant from mainland Europe, not a year-round breeding species your garden can support here. The best way to help native Hawkmoths breed in your garden is actually by having the native plants their caterpillars want to feed on. Some of their names will give you a clue what their caterpillars can eat (Privet, Lime and Poplar Hawk-moths) but you may make interesting discoveries by searching for the others. Who else knew you could encourage your summer visiting Hummingbird Hawk-moths to stay, breed and have an autumn flying generation in your garden by growing Bedstraw wildflowers? #mothsmatter #magnificentmoths #convolvulushawkmoth #Agriusconvolvuli #sphingidae #hawkmoth #moth #mothID #mothsofinstagram #ukmoths #britishmoths #mothconservation #britishinsects #ukinsects #pollinatorfriendly #plantingforpollinators #butterflyconservation #gardenwildlife #wilderkent #kentwildlife #lepidoptera #nature_perfection #wildlife_perfection #mothstagram #mothphotography #insectphotography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #bbcwildlifepotd #seiswild

I found my first Convolvulus Hawk-moth today, sheltering from the bad weather. It was huge and I used a large door key as a size reference. I didn't pick it up but I did move it to a slightly safer place. #ConvolvulusHawkMoth

Big Convolvulus Hawkmoth near the window, when we went to close the shutters this morning. What a beauty!

Immer gut, wenn man Beziehungen hat! Gestern bat mich jemand, diesen Jumbojet per Foto zu bestimmen. Ist ein Windenschwärmer - und heute kam die Nachricht: Er sitzt immer noch im Porree! Also nichts wie hin, ich durfte ganz alleine in den Schrebergarten zum Fotografieren! Aber was für ein Nervenkitzel, jederzeit hätte mich jemand in der Anlage einschließen können! Ich bin aber immer noch auf freiem Fuß mit dem Foto in der Tasche! 😂 #windenschwärmer #agriusconvolvuli #schwärmer #hawkmoth #convolvulushawkmoth #motten #mothsmatter #insekten #nachtfalter #insektenfotografie #porree

Asemejarse a un calamar con rimel y sombra de ojos es uno de los mimetismos menos descritos en la literatura científica, yo me inclino a pensar que esta característica provoca la huida despavorida de aves y murciélagos ante la amenaza de un chorro de tinta, aunque es una teoría que todavía no he desarrollado del todo. Prometo iros informando si avanzo algo y mientras tanto os dejo con la esfinge de la correhuela #Agrius_convolvuli un esfíngido muy viajero que puede verse en toda la península sobretodo en verano y otoño pero habitual todo el año en las zonas más meridionales. Es bastante polífaga aunque muestra preferencia por la plantas que le otorgan sus nombres vernáculo y específico, las correhuelas.

Big and beautiful! This is the Convolvulus Hawkmoth that visited my moth trap overnight. It’s the prettiest Convolvulus HM I’ve ever seen. They have a wingspan of over 10 centimetres. This species is a migrant to the U.K. and some years arrives here in good numbers…this is the second to visit me this year. I grow tobacco plants which might have tempted this beautiful creature to my garden, they have a particularly long proboscis which allows them to feed from long, deep trumpet shaped flowers like Nicotiana. Sadly our climate means they can’t survive the winter here, so I’m extremely fortunate to have seen this gorgeous visitor. I’ve released it to the safety of our garden hedge which is next to my tobacco plants, hopefully it will refuel and then continue on its epic journey… This species is most commonly seen feeding during twilight…it hovers in the same way Hummingbird Hawkmoths do over and amongst flowers, expertly targeting the flowers with its long coiled drinking straw proboscis.

🍯벌새인 줄 알았던 검은꼬리박각시나방🐝 🍁올가을에는 유난히 여기저기서 💐버들마편초가 눈에 많이 띈다. 그런데, 한 가지 흥미로웠던 것은 마편초랑 마주칠 때마다 매번 다른 🐝🦋곤충도 함께 만났다는 점이다. 이번에는 통통하고 귀여운 박각시나방과 조우했다. 물론 박각시나방은 나와 조우했다고 전혀 생각할리 없겠지만...😅 몇 년 전, 부산 흰여울길의 끝자락에서 박각시나방을 처음 봤을 때, 생전 처음으로 🦜벌새를 본 줄 알고 엄청 흥분했었다. '자연 다큐 프로그램에서나 볼 수 있는 벌새를 부산에서 보게 되다니 감격스럽구나!' (조금 과장해서?🥹) 어딘가 좀 이상하다는 생각에 다른 분이 올린 🧑💻블로그를 찾아 보다가 내가 목격한 게 검은꼬리박각시나방임을 알게 됐을 때의 충격이란...!😱 역시 '아는 만큼 보인다.'는 말은 깊이 새겨 들어야 한다.😓 #버들마편초 #마편초 #버베나 #박각시나방 #검은꼬리박각시나방 #꼬리박각시 #verbenas #verbenabonariensis #ig_pink #ig_flower #iloveflower #gardenflower #gardenflowers🌱🌻🌱 #instaflowerslovers #flowerstagram🌸 #flowergrams #flower_special #autumnflower #flowerloversofinstagram🌺🌹🌺 #flowergardensofinstagram #purpleflower #cuteflowers #convolvulushawkmoth #macroglossumstellatarum #agriusconvolvuli #힐링타임🌿 #꽃스타그램🌸 #バーベナ #すずめが #イモムシ

Convolvulus Hawk-moth (Agrius convolvuli). This huge immigrant species settles near the trap at the weekend and we rushed to fetch the net. Bless her, very tattered and worn from her travels and swollen maybe with eggs. Amazing to meet one and nice to think planting the nicotiana might of helped.

Creatures of the night 🌙 🪰 Agrius convolvuli, the convolvulus hawk-moth, is a large hawk-moth. It is common throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, partly as a migrant. This little fellow landed somehow as they rarely do in the UK, on my drying and ended up in my house, I have never handled a big moth before, so hopefully, I did not hurt the gorgeous baby 🥹 I tried to help with some water and sent him back on his journey. Very grateful for the encounter 💓🌚 Many cultures believe that the moth symbolizes rebirth since it metamorphizes from a caterpillar to a moth and also because the wings are still but come to life to fly toward the light ✨️ #bigmoths #creaturesofthenightsky #darknessmyoldfriend #fullmoonencounters #hermitwitchlife #nighttimelife #wıtchythıngs #atonewitheverything #convolvulushawkmoth #agriusconvolvuli #magicinnatureandlife #magiceverywhere✨ #magicisreality
Look at this beauty from last night 😳 It flew to me as I was playing with @delightful.dorothy by torch light. It’s a “Convolvulus Hawk Moth”.

Surprising what we see at the allotment giant convolvulus hawk moth 😃 #hawkmoth #wildlifephotography #allotment #allotmentlife #convolvulushawkmoth
Puppe vom Windenschwärmer. Der Windenschwärmer ist eine sehr große Nachtfalterart aus der Familie der Schwärmer. Die Flügelspannweite liegt zwischen 80 und 120 mm. Die Raupen ernähren sich von verschiedenen Winden. Wenn sie dann der Drang verspüren sich verpuppen zu wollen, bzw. müssen, laufen sie ein Weile umher und graben sich schließlich ins Erdreich ein. Diese Puppe ist noch sehr frisch, d.h. die Verpuppung hatte erst vor kurzer Zeit stattgefunden. Die Falter haben einen sehr langen Saugrüssel znd das ist schon an der großen und gebogenen Rüsselscheide der Puppe erkennbar. Da er ein Wanderfalter ist, hat er jahreszeitlich bedingt gute Chancen in den Süden zu fliegen. Im nächsten Frühjahr kommt dann die nächste Faltergeneration zurück um sich wieder bei uns fortzupflanzen. Windenschwärmer erreichen Fluggeschwindigkeiten bis 100 km/h. #windenschwärmer #windenschwärmerpuppe #convolvulushawkmoth #agriusconvolvuli #schwärmer #sphingidae #schmetterling #schmetterlinge #butterfly #butterflies #papilion #tagfalter #lepidoptera #makro #makrofotografie #natur #nature #insekt #insekten #insect #insects #schmetterlingsfoto #falter #macro #macrophotography #schmetterlingsfotografie #butterflyphotography #oneplus8pro

Two giants in one day! Convolvulus Hawkmoth in the portable trap this morning, which I cunningly placed next to the night-scented Nicotiana - which the Convolvulus loves. And this afternoon I fancied my chances of finding a Clifden Nonpareil in a natural resting place at Foxley Wood; and after looking on about 263 tree trunks I FOUND one!

The first Convolvulus Hawk-moth of the year was found resting inside the Well Heligoland trap on Sunday. The first ever Convolvulus Hawk-moth for Skokholm was logged in 1940, however there were no further encounters until one was found in the Well Heligoland in August 2014. There followed one in 2015, nine in 2016, three in 2017, one in 2018, three in 2019, two in 2020, one in 2021 and three in 2022. #convolvulushawkmoth #hawkmoth #lepidoptera #moths #mothtrapping #skokholm #dreamisland #whatabeast #islands #pembrokeshire
Here’s a fabulous female Convolvulus hawk-moth caught at Knepp on Friday evening. This magnificent migrant moth is one of our largest species - with a wingspan of over 10cm - and can travel here from as far as Northern Africa. These moths are named after the Convolvulus (or bindweed) plant family, which their caterpillars feed on. They will visit gardens at night to feed on flowers, especially Tobacco plants, with their incredible proboscis longer than their bodies! 📷 by @ry_thenatureguy #Knepp #rewilding #hawkmoth #moth #convolvulushawkmoth
All hail the mighty Convolvulus Hawkmoth! 🩷 We hosted our last ‘Bat & Moth’ safari of the year here at Knepp on Saturday, in celebration of International Bat Night. So I stuck the moth trap out in our garden on Friday, in hopes I might get something good to pot up and show the attendees. I was SO SO excited to find my first ever Convolvulus sat happily on the side of the trap. She was hiding her striking stripy red and black abdomen, with her huge camouflaged wings. This magnificent migrant moth is one of our largest species, with a wingspan of over 10cm, and can travel here from as far as Northern Africa. They are named after the Convolvulus, or Bindweed, plant family which their caterpillars feed on. They will visit gardens at night to feed on flowers, especially Tobacco plants, with their incredible proboscis (tongue) which is longer than their bodies! I’ve been gradually increasing the number of nectar rich moth attracting flower species to our garden. These include Jasmine, Honeysuckle, Evening Primrose, Night Scented Stock and Hebe. I’m hoping we’ll get plenty more surprising species turning up in the years to come.

Saw this in Aberystwyth on our hols! It’s a #convolvulushawkmoth, pretty impressive and huge! Not sure I would of got this close if it was flying towards me! 😬
The towpath along the River Arun keeps offering a great source of wildlife. Here is a new first for me. Sadly it had a slight injury, but as it was nearing pupation, I kept my fingers crossed it might survive and placed it gently in the grass and out of harms way. It’s is the caterpillar of the Convolvulus Hawk Moth. One of the UK’s largest moths, with a wingspan up to 120mm. They are supposed to be migrants, their caterpillars not capable of surviving our winter, but it is only a matter of time before they do. Good luck little fellow 😊 #convolvulushawkmoth #moth #hawkmoth #arunvalley #caterpillar
Convolvulus Hawkmoth - very excited to find this beauty back in 2021. A migrant from Africa, it can be seen here late summer to autumn but it cannot overwinter in the UK so the caterpillars are rarely seen here. #ukmoths #ukmothsandbutterflies #ukmothspecies #moths #mothsofinstagram #mothsmatter #mothsandbutterflies #mothstagram #mothsarebeautiful #convolvulushawkmoth

Agrius convolvuli, the convolvulus hawk-moth, is a large hawk-moth. It is common throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and New Zealand, partly as a migrant. In New Zealand, it is also known as the kumara moth, and in the Māori language as hīhue. The wingspan is 80–105 mm. This hawkmoth's basic coloration is in grayish tones, but the abdomen has a broad gray dorsal stripe and pink and black bands edged with white on the sides. The hindwings are light gray with darker broad crosslines. (From wikipedia). #nature #garden #macrophotography #summer #moth #agriusconvolvuli #agrius #convolvulushawkmoth #kumaramoth

Simple pleasures; sitting outdoors and listening, really listening, and looking for the smallest things is purely the best in life. This weekend, we had the privilege to visit Raasepori for a few nights. During the weekend we went out to look for some butterflies and even found a convolvulus hawk moth (Agrius convolvuli), it was amazing! 🦋 I had a great time and I feel extremely grateful for everything. . . . . . . #simplelife #summerplace #cottage #hammock #convolvulushawkmoth #agriusconvolvuli #kiertokiitäjä #butterfly #butterflyphotography #saperdacarcharias #runkohaapsanen #longhornbeetle #bugs #insects #fire #outdoors #discoverearth #naturephotography #nature #hyönteiset #luonnossa #raasepori #finnishnature #finland #biodiversity #naturalgarden
