Description:

This is a macro photograph of one of the UK's most beautiful moths, the Elephant Hawk Moth, Deilphila Elpenor in the Sphingidae family - know as Sphinx Moths or Hornworms in America. The vivid pink and green camouflage the moth in the pink flowered willowherb which the caterpillar feeds on. This was taken in my garden in Sissinghurst, Kent, UK on a wild Dog Rose which clambers through my apple tree.
