    Hello all,

    Hawk Moths have stout bullet-shaped bodies with long, narrow forewings and shorter hindwings. Wingspans range from 5 to 20 cm. Many species pollinate flowers such as orchids and petunias while sucking nectar. The proboscis of some species measures up to 32.5 cm. Some hawk moths migrate. Thanks for sharing it.....
