Small Elephant Hawk Dielephila porcellus
Very seldom can we offer eggs and larvae of this brilliantly coloured and delicate little Hawkmoth. The larvae are miniatures of the Elephant Hawk.
The best foodplant is Bedstraw Galium, any species. Other foodplants are recorded as possible alternatives: Willowherb, Purple Loosestrife, Impatiens (Balsam and perhaps Busy Lizzie), Vine and Parthenocissus. Don’t miss this opportunity of rearing the Small Elephant Hawk this year.
