Synanthedon scoliaeformis, the Welsh clearwing, is a moth of the family Sesiidae. It is found from almost all of Europe (except the Netherlands, Portugal and the western part of the Balkan Peninsula),[2] east through Russia to Japan.
The wingspan is 30–36 mm. Females have an orange tail, while males are darker brown. Both have two narrow yellow rings on their abdomen. Adults are on wing in June and July and fly during the day.[3]
