Description I have only seen the lime hawk-moth (Mimas tiliae) two times in my life. The first specimen had its right wing damaged presumably by a bird, there were two distinct holes in it, but this one was perfect. It was probably sleeping, because it was one of the first animals I found last Sunday and when I was returning several hours later, it was still in the same spot, literally hasn't moved at all.
