Five-spotted Hawk Moth
Manduca quinquemaculatus
The adult five-spotted hawk moth lives around open woodland, farms, gardens, and other habitats containing flowering plants. It flies mainly at dusk and night, hovering at blossoms to drink nectar with its long proboscis. Adults are powerful, fast fliers and may be attracted to lights after dark. The five orange spots on each side of the abdomen give this moth its common name.
