The Pine Hawk-moth is a streamlined, gray-streaked hawk moth that rests perfectly camouflaged against pine bark. Its forewings bear narrow streaks that mimic the texture of pine branches. The caterpillar is green with white diagonal stripes and feeds exclusively on pines and spruces in northern forests.
