'Ceratomia undulosa' is the binomial, Latin or scientific name of the waved sphinx moth. In its larval stage, the moth is lime green with red stripes along the side of each segment and with a red horned tail. In its adult stage, its pale gray torpedo-shaped body often is overshadowed by its four inch [10.16 centimeter] wingspan. The forewings sport wavy black and white lines that blend seamlessly with tree bark, one of the moth's favorite resting places.

What do sphinx moth eat?
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.

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.
