What colour are convolvulus hawkmoths? In google they look everything
from blue to cerise to grey ...

Here's a book description:

"An extremely large moth with ash grey, variably marbled and
extensively streaked forewing. Male is quite heavily marked with
blackish streaks and bands, often with a broad, central cross-band.
Large female lacks extensive blackish markings."

OK?


Thanks! So much for Google images!
