They fly from May to July, visiting flowers such as honeysuckle (Lonicera) for nectar. The larvae feed mainly on rosebay willowherb (Epilobium angustifolium), but also other plants as well, including bedstraw (Galium). <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=4183" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=4183">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>

* Geograph moderator Rob Farrow believes that the reference to the elephant isn't so much the appearance of the entire caterpillar, but its extendable "snout" that comes out of its head.  [Many thanks, Rob.]
