The sphinx moth (Hyles lineated) can be found in a wide variety of habitats. These range from arid deserts to tropical rainforests.
There are many different species with different characteristics, but in general they are large, heavy-bodied moths with long, thin wings. They have very fast and powerful flight, giving them the nickname "hawk moths". Many species also have a long proboscis that they use to drink nectar while hovering in front of flowers, giving them the name "hummingbird moths". Look for pictures of the White-lined Sphinx and Pandorus Sphinx to see a typical sphinx moth shape. To see some bizarre sphinx moths that don't fit this general description, look for Grote's Sphinx or Northern Pine Sphinx.
When a sphinx moth becomes an adult caterpillar, it will go underground to pupate. Most common sphinx moths will overwinter underground and hatch out in the early summer. However sphinx moths that are located in warmer, more tropical regions only take 2-3 weeks to hatch.
Uh no moths are a different type of insect. They include... Luna moths, White lined sphinx, the proud sphinx, and many more so yeah butterfly's and moths are different types of animals. :P
They are most commonly found in the tropics, but can be found in almost every region of the globe. There isn't a specific desert they are common in...

The sphinx moth uses their coloration to blend in with snow so preditors don't notice them.

They bring back the ancient egyptians to protect them. Yeah, they can do that.
hawks can live up 2 years

They hatch in Summer, hibernate through the winter, and turn into Isabella Tiger Moths in Spring. The moths live through Summer, lay eggs, and die.
