TERSA SPHINX MOTH (Xylophanes tersa)
These moths were given the name 'sphinx'; because of the caterpillar, in resting postion, with the front part of the body raised in the air, was thought to resemble the Great Shpinx of Egypt. Sphinx Moths are also called hawk moths because their wings resemble hawks' wings in shape, and because of their strong flight and hovering ability. They can fly at speeds of up to 25 mph. The Tersa Sphinx Moth is one of the most slender and streamlined of the hawk moths. It's a day-flying moth that can be found nectering at flowers along with butterflies.
