Sphinx moths are strong fliers, with a very rapid wing beat. They feed on flowers, much like hummingbirds. Most species feed at dusk or at night; a few feed during the day. Some species have large areas of the wings devoid of scales and resemble bumble bees. Larvae of most species have a soft spinelike process near the posterior end of the body and are often called hornworms; some are pests of tomatoes, tobacco, and other plants ... 4, record 2, English, - hawk%20moths

In Canada and Europe, examples of the Sphingidae family (formerly Smerinthidae) are more commonly called hawk moths, whereas in the U.S.A, the term "sphinx moth" is preferred. However both terms are used in Canada to refer to individual species e.g. pandora sphinx, but bedstraw hawkmoth. 5, record 2, English, - hawk%20moths
