Larva

Young larvae are a yellowish white to green color.

When they have finished growing, the larvae are a brown-gray color with black dots along the length of the body.

Larvae have a backward curving spine or "horn" that is the same color as their body on the final abdominal segment.

Fully grown larvae can measure up to 3 inches (7.62 cm) in length.

They also weigh somewhere between 4 and 7.5 grams (0.14 and 0.26 oz);
during their lifetime, they ingest a total of 11–30 grams (0.39–1.06 oz) of plant material.

Variation in color has been observed in nature.

Specifically, a green version of the full-grown larva exists within the species. Previous research has shown that the color variation is not due to a simple inheritance pattern, and specific explanations still remain inconclusive

Deilephila elpenor, the elephant hawk moth,
is a moth in the family Sphingidae.

 Its common name is derived from the caterpillar's resemblance to an elephant's trunk. It is most common in central Europe and is distributed throughout the Palearctic region.

Its distinct olive and pink coloring makes it one of the most recognizable moths in its range. However, it is quite easy to confuse the elephant hawk moth with the small elephant hawk moth, a closely related species that also shares the characteristic colors.

These moths are nocturnal and therefore feed on flowers that open or produce nectar at nighttime.

The elephant hawk moth
has incredibly sensitive eyes
that allow it to see color even at low-light.

In fact, it was one of the first species in which nocturnal color vision was documented in animals.

The moth is also known for its hovering capability, which it utilizes when feeding on nectar from flowers.

This behavior is costly in terms of energy and can help explain why the moth has evolved such enhanced visual capabilities for efficient feeding.

The moths also have an important role as pollinators throughout their habitat.


Similar species

The elephant hawk moth is often confused with
the small elephant hawk moth (Deilephila porcellus).

There are clear distinctions in size and coloring that can help differentiate between the two. As the name suggests, the small elephant hawk moth is much smaller. It is also more yellow in color around its body.

The most obvious defining feature is the thick pink stripe going down the elephant hawk moth's abdomen that is missing on the small elephant hawk moth's abdomen.

The two species are not usually seen together in garden traps
because the small elephant hawk moth prefers more open habitats



Range

D. elpenor is very common in central Europe and has a distribution throughout the palearctic region.

The species is especially well-distributed in England, Wales, and Ireland.

Until the 1980s, D. elpenor was only present in the southern half of Scotland, but now it has made its way up the north coast and into the country's mainland as well.

In general, the moth's range becomes thinner and less concentrated in the northern parts of Europe. The range also extends throughout Asia and even to Japan.


Habitat

D. elpenor inhabits a variety of habitats.

These include rough grassland, heartland, sand dunes, hedgerows, woodland, the open countryside, and even urban gardens.

The moths play an important role in pollination throughout their habitats.

For example, previous studies on hawk moths have indicated that they can pollinate up to 5-10% of the tree and shrub species in the area they inhabit

Larva  / Гусеница 
************************
Larva, Larvae
Larva [ла:вэ]  - гусиница

Ларва близко звучит к лярва, но по английски произносится  [Лавэ]

Larva

Young larvae are a yellowish white to green color.

When they have finished growing,
the larvae are a brown-gray color
with black dots along the length of the body.

Larvae have a backward curving spine or "horn"
that is the same color as their body on the final abdominal segment.

Fully grown larvae can measure up to 3 inches (7.62 cm) in length.

They also weigh somewhere between 4 and 7.5 grams (0.14 and 0.26 oz);
during their lifetime, they ingest a total of 11–30 grams (0.39–1.06 oz) of plant material.

Variation in color has been observed in nature. Specifically, a green version of the full-grown larva exists within the species. Previous research has shown that the color variation is not due to a simple inheritance pattern, and specific explanations still remain inconclusive



Eyespots

Many Lepidoptera species
have
evolved eye spots
either on their body
(when they are caterpillars)
or on their wings (as fully grown adults).

This dark, circular marking is generally thought to resemble
the eyes of a predator
and deter attacks from birds that feed on insects.

This mimicry
is effective because

the caterpillar is usually somewhat
concealed,
and because the predators must respond
to the signals quickly.

When it feels threatened by a predator,
the caterpillar will widen the anterior part of the body.

This defensive posture emphasizes the eye-spots
and makes it more conspicuous.

Some research have suggested that

this allows

the eyespots of the caterpillar
to resemble a snake
more closely
than it could when it is at rest



Vision

D. elpenor have incredibly sensitive eyes
that allow them to have color vision
even at nighttime.

Studies have analyzed

the dark-adapted eyes of D.elpenor
and have found

three visual pigments
with
a maximal wavelength
of 345 nm, 440 nm, and 520 nm.

These values respectively correspond to

ultraviolet, blue, and green wavelengths.

Most vertebrates, such as humans, lose the ability
to use the three types of photoreceptors present in the eye in dim light conditions.

However,
all three types of photoreceptors
remain functional in various light conditions for D. elpenor,
giving it the ability to have scotopic color vision.


This species
was the first instance
in which
being able to see color at night
was documented in animals


Feeding

D. elpenor feed on nectar from flowers.

When most insects forage, they land on the flower to retrieve the nectar.

However, D. elpenor hovers in front of the flower rather than landing on the flower itself.

The moth then extends its long, straw-like proboscis to attain its food.

While hovering, its wings beat at a high frequency to stabilize the body from the drift of the wind.

This flight pattern is quite costly; therefore, it is important for the moth to be able to feed effectively by knowing where to find nectar.



Visual cues

Since they are nocturnal, the moths tend to feed on flowers that open or produce nectar at twilight or during the night.

These are commonly termed "hawkmoth flowers."


D. elpenor are able to see color, an ability that is usually absent from most other nocturnal species.

Their particular visual system allows them to discriminate between various wavelengths even at low illumination, allowing the moths to find correct food sources while foraging

Deilephila elpenor, the elephant hawk moth, is a moth in the family Sphingidae.

Итак, личинка, гусеница винного бражника.

Первый раз увидеть и не знать:  опешешь.
Как маленькая змея поднимает часть тела, выглядящее как голова.

Видны кусачие захватки челюстей белые.

Ещё и захватки щупальцев белых как у гидры, выходящие с ротовой полости.

Коленчатость как у насекомых но и муравьёв и змей.

Огромные глаза.



Я живу в Англии с 12 февраля 1998 года.

И вот впервые 15 августа 2019 года заметила такое в саду. в свои 58 лет.


Такие дела вот.

(a moth in the family Sphingidae)
*****************************************************
Larva

Young larvae are a yellowish white to green color.

When they have finished growing, the larvae are a brown-gray color with black dots along the length of the body.

Larvae have a backward curving spine or "horn" that is the same color as their body on the final abdominal segment.

Fully grown larvae can measure up to 3 inches (7.62 cm) in length.

They also weigh somewhere between 4 and 7.5 grams (0.14 and 0.26 oz);
during their lifetime, they ingest a total of 11–30 grams (0.39–1.06 oz) of plant material.

Variation in color has been observed in nature.

Specifically, a green version of the full-grown larva exists within the species. Previous research has shown that the color variation is not due to a simple inheritance pattern, and specific explanations still remain inconclusive

Deilephila elpenor, the elephant hawk moth,
is a moth in the family Sphingidae.

 Its common name is derived from the caterpillar's resemblance to an elephant's trunk. It is most common in central Europe and is distributed throughout the Palearctic region.

Its distinct olive and pink coloring makes it one of the most recognizable moths in its range. However, it is quite easy to confuse the elephant hawk moth with the small elephant hawk moth, a closely related species that also shares the characteristic colors.

These moths are nocturnal and therefore feed on flowers that open or produce nectar at nighttime.

The elephant hawk moth
has incredibly sensitive eyes
that allow it to see color even at low-light.

In fact, it was one of the first species in which nocturnal color vision was documented in animals.

The moth is also known for its hovering capability, which it utilizes when feeding on nectar from flowers.

This behavior is costly in terms of energy and can help explain why the moth has evolved such enhanced visual capabilities for efficient feeding.

The moths also have an important role as pollinators throughout their habitat.


Similar species

The elephant hawk moth is often confused with
the small elephant hawk moth (Deilephila porcellus).

There are clear distinctions in size and coloring that can help differentiate between the two. As the name suggests, the small elephant hawk moth is much smaller. It is also more yellow in color around its body.

The most obvious defining feature is the thick pink stripe going down the elephant hawk moth's abdomen that is missing on the small elephant hawk moth's abdomen.

The two species are not usually seen together in garden traps
because the small elephant hawk moth prefers more open habitats



Range

D. elpenor is very common in central Europe and has a distribution throughout the palearctic region.

The species is especially well-distributed in England, Wales, and Ireland.

Until the 1980s, D. elpenor was only present in the southern half of Scotland, but now it has made its way up the north coast and into the country's mainland as well.

In general, the moth's range becomes thinner and less concentrated in the northern parts of Europe. The range also extends throughout Asia and even to Japan.


Habitat

D. elpenor inhabits a variety of habitats.

These include rough grassland, heartland, sand dunes, hedgerows, woodland, the open countryside, and even urban gardens.

The moths play an important role in pollination throughout their habitats.

For example, previous studies on hawk moths have indicated that they can pollinate up to 5-10% of the tree and shrub species in the area they inhabit

Larva [ла:вэ]  - гусиница

Ларва близко звучит к лярва, но по английски произносится  [Лавэ]

Larva

Young larvae are a yellowish white to green color.

When they have finished growing,
the larvae are a brown-gray color
with black dots along the length of the body.

Larvae have a backward curving spine or "horn"
that is the same color as their body on the final abdominal segment.

Fully grown larvae can measure up to 3 inches (7.62 cm) in length.

They also weigh somewhere between 4 and 7.5 grams (0.14 and 0.26 oz);
during their lifetime, they ingest a total of 11–30 grams (0.39–1.06 oz) of plant material.

Variation in color has been observed in nature. Specifically, a green version of the full-grown larva exists within the species. Previous research has shown that the color variation is not due to a simple inheritance pattern, and specific explanations still remain inconclusive



Eyespots

Many Lepidoptera species
have
evolved eye spots
either on their body
(when they are caterpillars)
or on their wings (as fully grown adults).

This dark, circular marking is generally thought to resemble
the eyes of a predator
and deter attacks from birds that feed on insects.

This mimicry
is effective because

the caterpillar is usually somewhat
concealed,
and because the predators must respond
to the signals quickly.

When it feels threatened by a predator,
the caterpillar will widen the anterior part of the body.

This defensive posture emphasizes the eye-spots
and makes it more conspicuous.

Some research have suggested that

this allows

the eyespots of the caterpillar
to resemble a snake
more closely
than it could when it is at rest



Vision

D. elpenor have incredibly sensitive eyes
that allow them to have color vision
even at nighttime.

Studies have analyzed

the dark-adapted eyes of D.elpenor
and have found

three visual pigments
with
a maximal wavelength
of 345 nm, 440 nm, and 520 nm.

These values respectively correspond to

ultraviolet, blue, and green wavelengths.

Most vertebrates, such as humans, lose the ability
to use the three types of photoreceptors present in the eye in dim light conditions.

However,
all three types of photoreceptors
remain functional in various light conditions for D. elpenor,
giving it the ability to have scotopic color vision.


This species
was the first instance
in which
being able to see color at night
was documented in animals


Feeding

D. elpenor feed on nectar from flowers.

When most insects forage, they land on the flower to retrieve the nectar.

However, D. elpenor hovers in front of the flower rather than landing on the flower itself.

The moth then extends its long, straw-like proboscis to attain its food.

While hovering, its wings beat at a high frequency to stabilize the body from the drift of the wind.

This flight pattern is quite costly; therefore, it is important for the moth to be able to feed effectively by knowing where to find nectar.



Visual cues

Since they are nocturnal, the moths tend to feed on flowers that open or produce nectar at twilight or during the night.

These are commonly termed "hawkmoth flowers."


D. elpenor are able to see color, an ability that is usually absent from most other nocturnal species.

Their particular visual system allows them to discriminate between various wavelengths even at low illumination, allowing the moths to find correct food sources while foraging

Deilephila elpenor, the elephant hawk moth, is a moth in the family Sphingidae.

Итак, личинка, гусеница винного бражника.

Первый раз увидеть и не знать:  опешешь.
Как маленькая змея поднимает часть тела, выглядящее как голова.

Видны кусачие захватки челюстей белые.

Ещё и захватки щупальцев белых как у гидры, выходящие с ротовой полости.

Коленчатость как у насекомых но и муравьёв и змей.

Огромные глаза.



Я живу в Англии с 12 февраля 1998 года.

И вот впервые 15 августа 2019 года заметила такое в саду. в свои 58 лет.


Такие дела вот.
