Hyles lineata, also known as the white-lined sphinx, is a moth of the family Sphingidae. They are sometimes known as a "hummingbird moth" because of their bird-like size (2-3 inch wingspan) and flight patterns.[2]
As caterpillars, they have a wide range of color phenotypes but show consistent adult coloration.[3] With a wide geographic range throughout Central and North America, H. lineata is known to feed on many different host plants as caterpillars and pollinate a variety of flowers as adults.[4][5]
Larvae are powerful eaters and are known to form massive groupings capable of damaging crops and gardens.[5] As adults, they use both visual and olfactory perception to locate plants from which they collect nectar.[6]
