Daphnis nerii (Linnaeus, 1758), the Oleander hawkmoth, is a migrating species with an occasional presence in Europe. In Spain, it was first reported in Andalusia in the mid 19th century. Since then there have only been isolated reports of its occurrence in several provinces of mainland Spain, most of which were located in the eastern side of the country, close to the Mediterranean Sea. To date, there has been no proven evidence of the occurrence of D. nerii in the Balearic Islands (Spain). Only eight of Sphingidae species have been recorded previously in the literature from this archipelago, with no evidence of the occurrence of D. nerii. Here we provide information about two records of D. nerii, one larvae and one adult that constitute the first evidence of the occurrence of this species in the Balearic Islands.
