Wikipedia Abstract

Clarina kotschyi (grapevine hawkmoth) is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is found from the Iranian plateau and Mesopotamia to eastern and central Turkey. Adults rest by day amongst the dense foliage of its hostplant, or on rocks on the ground. The habitat consists of hillsides up to 2,000 meters and mountain valleys with shrubs, vineyards and isolated trees. It can be very common in some grape-growing areas. The larvae have been recorded feeding on Vitis vinifera, Parthenocissus and Ampelopsis species.
