The Latin name for this moth is Deilephila elpenor, a species found all over Wales, Ireland, and England, and in Scotland, this moth can be found in the western and southern regions.The actual moth appears during the months of May to July and then from the latter part of July through September are the caterpillars. While this moth lives in woodland clearings, in gardens, and around waste grounds, they love eating willow herbs, bedstraws, and nectar. In fact, when this particular species of moth is found in flower gardens, it is usually near Fuchsias feeding although it also loves Petunia and Honeysuckle plants.
