Hello. My name is Tristan Norton and I am a Wikipedia member. I go to school in Lithgow and live in Blackheath. I usually correct links and spelling errors and rarely ever contribute anything of any interest. I Can't Believe It's Not A Hyperlink. If you really want to talk to me, try my MSN Messenger address. I also contribute to Wikitravel.
Laothoe populi, the poplar hawk-moth, is a moth of the family Sphingidae. The species is found throughout the Palearctic realm and the Near East, and is one of the most common members of the family in the region. On first hatching, the larvae are pale green with small yellow tubercules and a cream-coloured tail horn, at which point they are known as hornworms. They later develop yellow diagonal stripes on the sides, and pink spiracles. This photograph, taken in Saint-Quentin-en-Tourmont, France, shows a late instar of L. populi.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
