What a catch! My first elephant hawk moth!
The elephant hawk moth isn't called that because it resembles a hawk, but because it's a hawk moth that's more elephant than hawk!

Elephant Hawk Moth is an Insect Creature in Petit Planet.

It can be found in the Omni-Gallery in the Cave Insects section.

Omnipedia

The Deilephila elpenor is commonly known as the elephant hawk moth.
The word "elephant" might seem unrelated to its vibrant appearance at first glance, but it's because "elephant" is actually associated with its larval form.
While feeding, the larva stretches its body forward like an elephant's trunk instead of moving their entire body forward. Some theories suggest this unique motion is a way to conserve energy - Colloquially known as being "lazy."
