Convolvulus Hawk-moth

Agrius convolvuli

Description:

The wingspan is 80–105 mm. This hawkmoth's basic coloration is in grayish tones, but it has delicate colored regular spots on both sides of the abdomen, in black, pink and white rows. It feeds on the wing and has a very long proboscis (longer than its body) that enables it to feed on long trumpet like flowers such as Nicotiana Sylvestris.

Notes:

i saved it from wall lizard. The moth was injured see pic no 4, look at its eye :(
