Markings of white and black break up the moths body outline, while also resembling cracks in the bark. The behaviour of this moth is to remain still. By blending in with its environment, the hawkmoth gains protection against predators. Hyloicus pinastri is a common moth in Europe. Editorial Stock Photo - Afloimages
