sphingid

Female Sphingid, however, do not generally lay eggs in confinement,66 or at most only a very small number.

The caterpillars of the Sphingid are known to behave themselves in different manners when attacked.

After all these illustrations it can no longer remain doubtful that the oblique stripes of the Sphingid are adaptive.

The caterpillars of the Sphingid appear also in some cases to vary in a manner very suggestive of phytophagic influences.

The head is greyer than the body; the usual Sphingid horn is absent, and in its place there is a double wart.
