 Its large size, and flight during the day in the bright sunshine, 

 like the other insects of the family, causes it to be more gen- 

 erally noticed than any of our Sphingiii^e. Far from rare, 

 especially about the sea side, Tynemouth, Cullercoats, &c., 

 where it is to be met with from May to the end of September. 

 The larvae feed on the Galium venim, and are pretty abundant 

 where that plant grows. Darlington. — William Backhouse, Esq.
