Summary ²

Hyles euphorbiae (spurge hawk-moth) is a European moth of the family Sphingidae. This hawk moth is used as an agent of biological pest control against the noxious weed known as leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula), but usually only in conjunction with other agents. The larvae consume the leaves and bracts of the plant.
