And yet another Hyles species from the Mediterranean. This time one from the Western part. Hyles dahlii only occurs on the islands Corsica (France), Sardinia (Italy) and Mallorca (Spain), although occasionally they stray to Sicily (Italy) and the northeast coast of Spain. Superficially they look similar to other Hyles species in the wider region (tithymali, euphorbiae, ...), but they can easily be identified by the three black dots on each side of the abdomen. Other species have only two. The wingspan of this species is between 6,5 and 8,5 centimeter. They have at least two flights per year May/June and August/September. In captivity often three or more.
