"Family sphingidae known as sphinx moths or hakmoths plays a crucial role in the stability of terrestrial ecosystem. Philippines which is known as one of the 17 mega diverse countries comprises 118 species of sphinx moths. This study highlights the species composition, endemism and local status of sphinx moths of Mt. Kitanglad, Philippines. Three sites were employed namely agroecosystem, montane forest and dipterocarp forest. Light trapping technique was used to collect night flying moths. Twenty-two individuals which made up of even species belonging to six genera were recorded. Site 2 (montane forest) has the highest number of individuals collected (63.6%) followed by site 1 (agroecosystem- 27.2%) and site 3 (dipterocarp forest) with only 9.0%. Four species: A socrates, C. decolor, D. hypothous and T. nessus were found to be very rare while the remaining species are categorized as rare. Only one collected species namely Ambulyx staudingeri were found to be endemic in the Philippines."

"Sphingidae (Hawkmoth or Sphinxmoth) is a known bioindicator that is naturally af-fected by environmental issues such as deforestation and pollution. Members of this family are widely distributed in Southeast Asia and play vital roles as indicators of habitat quality and biomass degradation. This study highlights the diversity and assessment of hawkmoths of Mt. Agad-Agad (Sitio Langinlanon, Barangay Puga-an) on Iligan City. Two sampling stations were established, the upper and lower Mt. Agad-Agad. Light trap sampling using 2 × 3 m2 white silk cloth and 500 watts light bulb was established in selected points of the sampling stations. Six species belonging to four genera were recorded of which two species, Acosmeryx socrates and Polyptychus trilineatus philippinensis, were found very rare in the area. Station 2 (lower Mt. Agad-Agad) had the highest number of species recorded compared to Station 1 (upper Mt. Agad-Agad). However, there is no significant difference between the two (t=0.59, critical t=2.2281, p=0.56) sampling stations in terms of species composition. Moreover, two species from the genus Ambulyx are the endemic species observed, viz, A. bakeri and A. wilemani."

"Sphingidae, also known as Hawkmoths or Sphinx Moths, are ecological indicators that are naturally affected by environmental stresses. They have a widespread distribution from Southeast Asia and play significant roles in the environment as indicators of the quality of habitat and biomass degradation. Mt. Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary(MHRWS), as the only world heritage site in the Philippines, has been subjected to numerous conservation studies of flora and fauna for several years. There were significant studies on Lepidopteransin MHRWS, but there were no reports on moth species, specifically on the family Sphingidae. Thus, this study was carried outin Sitio Tagtigcup, Barangay La Union, San Isidro and Ecopark of Mansinagan, Governor Generoso, Davao Oriental to provide data on the composition, endemism and status of Hawkmoths. Light trap sampling were established using 3 × 4m white silk cloth and 250 Vlight bulbs in the two proposed expansion sites. A total of 6 genera with 8 species were recorded. Of the collected species, Acosmeryx socrates, Ambulyx staudengeri and The retramanilae were endemic to the Philippines. There were 4 uncommon or local species, three 3 common species and only one rare species recorded. This concludes that MHRWS proposed expansion sites are home of 8 hawkmoths which comprised 37.5% endemicity in the Philippine hawkmothss. Thus, this study calls for conservation and protection."

"Recent ecological studies give so much attention to biodiversity and conservation. As some initiative on conserving biodiversity, naturalistic landscape designs are incorporated to various holiday destinations offering extreme sport adventures, promoting tourism as source of income while preserving natural habitat. However, it is not impossible that an alteration will be made from the original habitat or even frequent exposure to various anthropogenic activities that causes disturbances may seriously affect sensitive species. This study measured diversity of hawkmoths in two selected sites with different vegetation types: 1) the Mt. Hamiguitan ranges (Natural and protected forest) Ecopark (site 1), Camp 3 (Site 2), Black Mountain (site 3) and study area 2: Busay Garden and Spring Resort. The sampling was carried out using 500w bulb light trapping method powered by a portable generator. A total of 305 individuals representing 22 species of hawkmoth from both sites were recorded. Shannon-Weiner indicates that Hawkmoths were more diverse in Busay Garden and Mt. Hamiguitan site 1 where diversity index were the same with H’=1.258. They have the same diversity indexes, but they differ on species richness (Hmax= 1.301 for site 1, Hmax=1.342 for site 4) and evennes with J=0.9672 for site 1(Ecopark) and J=0.937 for site 4(Busay Garden).Diversity of hawkmoths increases as elevation increases except for site 3 (H’=1.161) where the elevation was higher than site 2(H’=1.06). Bray-Curtis Similarity Index of hawkmoth in Busay Garden and the Eco-park of Mt. Hamiguitan have shown high (73%) species similarity. The diversity of hawkmoths was high at lower elevations and the results suggests that developing gardens into having more diverse host plants may promote higher species diversity. Further study on its implications with wider coverage and longer sampling duration is recommended."
