The White-lined Sphinx (Hyles lineata) is a sleek and fast-flying moth with olive-brown forewings marked by a bold white stripe and dark hindwings accented with pink and black. Its streamlined body and rapid wingbeats give it a strong resemblance to a hummingbird in flight.
Native to North America, Hyles lineata is widely distributed across the United States and into parts of Central America. It is commonly associated with open habitats such as deserts, grasslands, and gardens.
Interesting Fact:
This species is often active at dusk and can hover while feeding on flowers, much like a hummingbird, making it one of the most frequently observed sphinx moths.
This specimen is preserved, fully spread and professionally mounted in a clear PE display frame, making it ready for immediate display. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
