''Smerinthus ocellatus'', known as the eyed hawk-moth, is a European moth of the family Sphingidae. The eyespots are not visible in resting position, where the forewings cover them. They are displayed when the moth feels threatened, and may startle a potential predator, giving the moth a chance to escape. The adult moth has a wingspan of . ==Imago== Very similar in appearance to the other two western Palaearctic ''Smerinthus'' species, ''Smerinthus caecus'' and ''Smerinthus kindermannii'' but differentiated by an apical thorn on the foretibia, and the large, circular hindwing ocellus.The upperside forewings are marked in light and dark shades of brown and resemble the coloring of bark. The hindwings are pink coloured basally and then a yellow ochre.The hindwings are dominated by a large, blue, dark-centered and black-rimmed eyespot. The thorax has light brown sides and dark brown hairs in the middle.In addition to variations in the density of the forewing pattern intensity, differences in colour are also found on the hindwing. In f. ''flavescens'' Neumann hindwing pink is replaced by yellow in f. ''pallida'' Tutt by grey and in f. ''albescens'' Tutt. In f. ''rosea'' Bartel, the pink is deep and the forewings are yellowish brown; in f. ''ollivryi'' Oberthür, the ocellus is replaced by a buff brown patch.
