The Eyed Hawk-Moth (Smetheris ocellata) pictured here on an apple tree, is a European moth of the family Sphingidae.  The caterpillar can be found in orchards during the Summer months where its green body with seven stripes perfectly disguises it as an apple tree leaf. The focus of this image is on the blue tail spike. This caterpillar is roughly life sized when viewed in this thumbnail.

Smerinthus ocellatus, the eyed hawk-moth, is a European moth of the family Sphingidae. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. \nThe eyespots are not visible in resting position, where the forewings cover them. They are displayed when the moth feels threatened, and may startle a potential predator, giving the moth a chance to escape.\nThe Eyed Hawk-Moth, so called from a large and beautiful spot in each of the hind wings that somewhat resembles an eye. The fore wings are brown, with a very beautiful reddish bloom over them, and clouded with olive-brown. The hind wings are of a delicate rosy red at the base, and a pale brown towards the margin; and each has a large and beautiful eye-like spot, grey in the center, surrounded with blue, and the blue surrounded by a black ring. The skin of the caterpillar is rough; it is pale green, sprinkled with white, and has seven oblique white stripes on each side. The horn at the tail is blue. It is very common in the autumn, feeding on apple trees in gardens, and on willow bushes in hedges. The chrysalis is red-brown, and glossy. The Moth is found about Midsummer.\nLarva:\nThe larva (caterpillar) is pale bluish or yellowish green with small white-tipped tubercules and a grey-blue tail horn. The sides are striped white or yellow and the spiracles are white ringed with dark red. The larvae grow to about 80 mm. The larval food plants are various species of Salix, Populus and Malus (source Wikipedia). \nThe adult (imago) is very similar in appearance to the other two western Palaearctic Smerinthus species and is a common Moth in Europe.\n\nThis Picture is made during a long weekend in the Eifel (Germany) in June 2019.
