The giant sphinx moth, scientifically known as *Manduca sexta*, is a large moth found in the Americas. It has a wingspan of about 4 to 5 inches and is known for its distinctive, robust body and striking patterns. The moth is primarily active at night and is attracted to flowers, where it feeds on nectar using its long proboscis. This species is also known as the hummingbird moth due to its ability to hover in front of flowers, similar to a hummingbird. The giant sphinx moth undergoes a complete metamorphosis, transitioning from an egg to a caterpillar, then to a pupa, and finally emerging as an adult moth.
