Carea varipes is a moth of the family Nolidae first described by Francis Walker in 1856. [1] It is found in Oriental region to Sundaland. [2] [3]
Its forewings have an axe-head shape. The caterpillar has a distinctive swollen thoracic tumidity. Tumidity is glossy green. A mottled white band runs from the thorax to the conical horn. Its horn is broad and pale green. A small white patch can be found between horn and anal claspers. Its head is red. The caterpillars live singly and are not gregarious. Larval host plants are Eugenia and Rhodomyrtus tomentosa , Campomanesia , Cleistocalyx and Syzygium cumini . [4] [5]
Two subspecies recognized.
Euproserpinus euterpe, the Kern primrose sphinx moth or euterpe sphinx moth is a small day-flying moth in the family Sphingidae. The 0.04-inch (1.0 mm), light green eggs are laid haphazardly on various plants in the vicinity of the evening primrose host plants. Larvae emerge from the eggs about a week after oviposition and begin to feed on the flowers and young leaves of the evening primrose. Larvae hatching from eggs laid on other plants are able to wander significant distances to find the host plant.
Daphnis nerii, the oleander hawk-moth or army green moth, is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.
