Hyles gallii
Бражник подмаренниковый. Размер 29–39 мм. Передние крылья темно-коричневые, с контрастной светло-охристой продольной полосой, проходящей через все крыло, не достигая переднего края. Задние крылья черные, с широкой розово-красной перевязью. Вид широко распространен в Евразии и Северной Америке. Бабочки летают в июне и июле. В Оренбургской области в конце августа и сентябре отмечались особи второй генерации. Единственный из наших бражников активный как в ночное, так и в дневное время суток. Гусеницы живут па кипрее и подмаренниках. Куколкой перезимовал в хоз.помещении в земле. Вылупился сегодня. Видела гусеницу в прошлом году -зеленоватого цвета с красными точками(молодая форма).С наступлением сумерек быстро вылетел и пропал..

That's a very handsome moth. Great spotting, and congrats on your nomination, Irina.
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated Irina!

Thank you;Leuba.
Hawk-moth in the span of the wings 55-80 mm. In the evening he eats on flowers, at night flies to the light. The pupa overwintered in the household in the ground. It hatched today. I saw the caterpillar last year-a greenish color with red dots (a young form). With the onset of dusk,he quickly flew out and disappeared .
On this page I made photo of larva http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/777...
