There are thousands of species of sphinx moths, and just about any habitat in the world except some barren deserts and polar ice is likely to be home to at least a few species. They normally fly at night and are difficult to find unless you use a bright light to attract them or find some flowers that they are visiting for nectar.
The sphinx moth uses the color of its wings to blend in with its surroundings. There are many different varieties of the moth, and each are specialized to live in a specific area.
The main predators of the hawk moth are bats, amphibians, and birds. The hawk moth is also sometimes called the sphinx moth and in some areas it's called the hummingbird moth.

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.

It depends on the species. There are hundreds of types of sphinx moth caterpillars in the US alone, from tomato hornworms to Virginia creeper sphinx to azalea sphinx. A lot of them have their food plant in their name (ash sphinx, fig sphinx, hydrangea sphinx, walnut sphinx, wild cherry sphinx, beadstraw hawkmoth, elm sphinx, big poplar sphinx, etc.) but some can be misleading: the laurel sphinx doesn't like laurel, the sequoia sphinx won't eat sequoia, and the great ash sphinx will eat a wide variety of leaves in addition to ash. You should try to identify the caterpillar to species first, and then look up what that species eats. Bugguide and Moth Photographers Group have photos of almost every North American species (except tropical ones from Mexico), so that is a good place to start.
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.
