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...
Sphinx moths are found worldwide, with different species inhabiting various regions from tropical to temperate climates. They are particularly common in North and South America, as well as Africa, Asia, and Australia. Sphinx moths can be found in diverse habitats including forests, deserts, meadows, and suburban areas.
The sphinx is found in the Sahara Desert near Cairo, Egypt.
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.
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
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.
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.
It is situated on the Giza Plateau.
ask the Sphinx?
I'm not an animal expert or anything, but I highly doubt it! They might get stabbed by the cactus's spines. They might get nectar from the cactus's flower's, though. Sorry that I can't help you more. :(
There is no evidence that anyone did live inside the Sphinx, and no proof there is an inside where anyone could live.
Yes, sphinx caterpillars, also known as hawk moth larvae, often burrow into the soil or leaf litter as they prepare to pupate. This behavior helps protect them from predators and environmental conditions during their transformation into moths. After forming a pupa, they typically remain hidden until they emerge as adult moths.
