General info about Imago

  • Flies where milkweed grows - on the edge of the forest boundary strips, slopes and non-solar field roads. Euphorbiaceae revelers are active at dusk and night. [5].

Imago lifespan

  • From May to July. The second generation may occur in favorable years in the late summer. [5].

General info about Larva

  • Caterpillar yellow, with black rings, red dots and red as dorsal stripe. For pupation the larva crawls under a layer of grass. [5].

  • Euphorbia, reported also on Mercurialis annua, Polygonum aviculare, Vitis, Fuchsia. [28].
  • Spurge. [5].

Larva lifespan

People. And the truth as synonyms? Or we can glitch which has crept in?

Basil, everything is OK with the pictures, they are normally loaded (refer to. Cabinet). Most of them will be published soon (then in office will change their status).

Thank you Peter. Please look at my downloaded images. It may be there, there will be something for your site.

Hello. It would be desirable to draw your attention to an inaccuracy. Hyles, who illustrated description Euphorbiaceae hawk not Hyles Euphorbiae, and Macroglossum Stellatarum (hummingbird hawk-moth or Rubiaceae). P.S. Unfortunately I can not provide a picture Hyles Euphorbiae (I just do not have it), but I will say that it is very similar to Hyles Gallii-Hyles Galii.
