1979 Mimas tiliae (Lime Hawkmoth)
Sphingidae Smerinthinae Wingspan: 80mm.
This pretty medium sized moth is quite variable in the adult stage, often being a mixture of dark green and brick red. The mid-fore-wing spots, can vary in size from being joined together to form a band, to being so small as to almost be missing. They generally occur around urban park land where-ever Lime Trees (Tilia species) occur.
