It is a very common moth in Europe, known for its unique appearance and behavior, and is known as the "four unlike" of the insect kingdom. It has a very beautiful appearance, with soft golden and magenta scales covering its wings and body, resembling a futuristic jet plane. The larval stage usually appears dark, sometimes bright green, and is said to resemble the trunk of an elephant, but is more often compared to pet feces. It is a nocturnal creature that feeds on nectar, has a keen sense of smell and color vision, and can find flowers in the dark. Belonging to the family of hawk moths, it is known for its fast wing flapping and acrobatic flight.
