How fast can waved sphinx moths fly?
Up to 30 miles [48.28032 kilometers] per hour is how fast waved sphinx moths [Ceratomia undulosa] can fly. The combination of a torpedo-shaped body and narrow, streamlined wings make them fast, powerful fliers. That's something that might not be expected when they're seen among the moths that cluster near the outside door lights to a house.Typically, waved sphinx moths prefer forested and wide open areas. They particularly favor woody areas. That's because the thin, wavy black and white lines on their forewings make them almost indistinguishable from tree bark.
