Synanthedon stomoxiformis
Synanthedon stomoxiformis is a moth of the family Sesiidae. It is found in most of Europe (except Ireland, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Fennoscandia, Estonia and Latvia) and the Middle East. The wingspan is 22–31 mm. Adults are on wing in June and July. The larvae feed on the roots of "Frangula alnus" and "Rhamnus cathartica"., although there are also records for "Mespilus germanica", "Juglans regia" and "Prunus" and "Quercus" species. In springtime, the larva constructs a very characteristic exit tube from the root to ground level.
