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 15, English, - hawk%20moths
