Bedstraw Hawk-moth

Hyles gallii

Family: Sphingidae

RES: 69.014 B&F: 1987

Verification Grade (Adult):

A scarce but regular migrant to Kent, this species is now almost annual. It has been recorded in Kent between July and September, following the usual pattern for migrant moths of occasional records inland but the majority along the South and East coast of the County. Similar to Spurge Hawk-moth, this species has a thinner pale stripe across the forewing which does not arc towards the leading edge.
