    Default Poplar Hawk-Moth, Laothoe populi

    On the window ledge over in France, not seen one before, but I guess they spend most of their time up in the surrounding poplars. Certainly a big boy.

    Well captured.
    Fascinating moths aren't they ?
    Moths and Butterflies come under the order of Lepidoptera. I find them very interesting to watch

    The larvae feed on poplar, aspen and sallow trees

    I have never actually seem one
