Hyles livornica
The smallest one I have ever seen, it my little finger next to it

It is quite a small moth. Wingspan is 60-85 mm, with males being slightly smaller than the females. There might be size variations due to migration period, seasonal availability of food resources and geographic location.
bayucca, Thank you, do they really get so small or was this just lucky on my side, its really small
