Sphinx moths typically have a lifespan ranging from a few weeks to several months, depending on the species and environmental conditions. Adult moths usually live for about two weeks to a month, primarily focused on mating and laying eggs. In some cases, their larvae (caterpillars) can spend several months developing before pupating. Overall, the lifespan can vary significantly based on factors like habitat and food availability.

What are the characteristics of sphinx 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.
