Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Butterflies, Sphinxes, and Moths, Vol. 2 of 2: Illustrated by Ninety-Six Engravings, Coloured After Nature The insects of the genus Sphinx are sometimes, in Britain, called Hawk Moths. They have, in general, a large thorax, and thick body, most usually tapering towards the tail, or posterior extremity. The name of this genus is derived from the position assumed by several of the caterpillars of the larger species bearing a strong resemblance to that of the Egyptian Sphinx, the fore parts being elevated, and the rest of the body adhering flatly to the surface on which it rests. The flight of the larger species is generally in the twilight of evening, or early in the dawn of morning.
