EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the incredible Bedstraw Hawk-Moth (Hyles gallii) showcasing its remarkable ability to blend seamlessly with its surroundings. Captured in Wallis, Switzerland during April under controlled conditions, this arthropod marvel leaves us spellbound. With its intricate pattern and delicate wingspan, the Bedstraw Hawk-Moth effortlessly merges into the vibrant flora of Western Europe. Its elegant markings resemble a work of art painted by nature itself. This sphingid insect from the Lepidoptera family is commonly known as a hawk moth or sphinx moth due to its swift flight resembling that of a bird of prey. The Bedstraw Hawk-Moth's presence adds an air of mystery to these alpine landscapes. As it gracefully flutters amidst wildflowers and lush greenery, it becomes one with nature's tapestry. The hornworm caterpillar stage that precedes this enchanting creature only enhances our fascination. Switzerland provides an ideal habitat for such magnificent creatures like the Gallium Sphinx or Madder Hawk Moth (as it is also known).

Robert Thompson's skillful photography captures not just an image but also tells a story about resilience and adaptation in the animal kingdom. So next time you find yourself exploring Wallis' picturesque landscapes, keep your eyes peeled for this elusive
