White-Lined Sphinx

White-Lined Sphinx

Scientific name: Hyles lineata (Fabricius)
(Lepidoptera: Sphingidae)

Facts: The white-lined sphinx, like all sphinx moths, is an able flier. It is commonly attracted to lights. Sphinx or hawk moths feed on nectar and prefer flowers with a deep tubular shape. In poor light, or to the novice, they can be mistaken for hummingbirds.
