The white-lined sphinx moth (Hyles lineata) is found across much of North America and is sometimes known as a "hummingbird moth" because of its large size and hovering flight. Diurnal populations of this moth prefer to nectar on brightly colored flowers (much like hummingbirds); nocturnal populations typically use pale or white flowers.

Forest Friend; Meet the White-lined Sphinx moth caterpillar (Hyles lineata) can be found from mid-Spring through early Fall in open areas throughout North America, from Canada to Central America and the West Indies. They were named "sphinx" for their alarm posture. They will rear their head up when alarmed and have the appearance of an Egyptian Sphinx. Video shared by Kristina S | Niabi Zoo

Is it a hummingbird? No, it’s a white-lined sphinx moth (Hyles lineata)! These moths hover in front of flowers and drink nectar through their proboscis, a tube that extends from the front of their heads. Sphinx moths look, move, and eat like hummingbirds, but they are not closely related. Hummingbirds and sphinx moths–creatures from two different branches on the tree of life–have evolved similar traits to fill similar ecological niches. This phenomenon of two unrelated species forming similar ad

We like to keep a few extra host plants around to relocate the different hornworms we find ☺️ This hornworm changes into a white-lined sphinx moth (Hyles lineata), also known as the hummingbird moth, a large, brown, pollinating moth with a 2.5–3.5 inch wingspan. #hummingbirdmoth #sphinxmoth #moth #caterpillars #hornworms #pollinators #pollination #gardencenterlife #natureisthebest #richmondtexas #texas | Enchanted Gardens

Garden cameo! 🐛 This vibrant visitor is a white-lined sphinx moth (Hyles lineata) in the making. Before they transform, these caterpillars can grow up to 3 inches long and come in a surprising variety of colors—green, brown, even black! Love bugs? Great news! We’re seeking volunteers for our insectary. In addition to feeding and caring for the insectary’s current caterpillar residents, you’ll help search our gardens for new ones! To get started, complete a volunteer application: wildflower.org/
