It is found from north-eastern China, Japan and Korea, south and east through China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and Peninsular Malaysia, to the Greater Sunda Islands, west through Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka and India to Kashmir. It is an introduced species in Hawaii, and the Caribbean region.
The wingspan is 90–122 mm.
The larvae mostly feed on Oleaceae, Scrophulariaceae and Verbenaceae species, although there are records from other families. Recorded food plants include Campsis , Catalpa , Clerodendrum (including Clerodendrum tricotonum ), Dimocarpus , Firmiana , Fraxinus , Ligustrum (including Ligustrum lucidum , Ligustrum obtusifolium and Ligustrum japonicum ), Melia , Meliosma , Olea , Osmanthus (including Osmanthus fragrans ), Paulownia (including Paulownia tomentosa and Paulownia coreana ), Syringa (including Syringa reticulata and Syringa dilatata ), Vitex (including Vitex negundo ), Quercus aliena , Callicarpa dichotoma , Sesamum indicum , Perilla frutescens and Viburnum dilatatum .

During the last hundred years a number have been discovered within the Middle East and one was even found in Scotland late in the 20th century but this was probably imported as a pupa with cargo.

Acherontia lachesis, the greater death's head hawkmoth or bee robber, is a large sphingid moth found in India, Sri Lanka and much of the Oriental region. It is one of the three species of death's-head hawkmoth genus, Acherontia. The species was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1798. It is nocturnal and very fond of honey; they can mimic the scent of honey bees so that they can enter a hive unharmed to get honey. Their tongue, which is stout and very strong, enables them to pierce the wax cells and suck the honey out. This species occurs throughout almost the entire Oriental region, from India, Pakistan and Nepal to the Philippines, and from southern Japan and the southern Russian Far East to Indonesia, where it attacks colonies of several different honey bee species. It has recently become established on the Hawaiian Islands.
