"The crepuscular hawk moth (Nephele hespera) belongs to the family Sphingidae, subfamily Macroglossinae. Hawk moths is known as a pollinator in nature. It is a stenophagous organism which the larva feed only young karunda leaves (Carissa carandas L.). The objectives of this study is to investigate the color and  structure of karunda flowers (n=30), crepuscular hawk moths’ proboscis, and the color of artificial flowers attraction and amount of 25% honey solution uptake of the hawk moths. The results showed that karunda’s flowers were white color with a tubular shaped flowers (averaged 19.20±1.16 mm long). The proboscis length of the male and female hawk moth was 46.03±2.33 and 44.03 ± 2.08 mm, respectively. The uptake of honey solution from violet, yellow, pink, white and chartreuse green of artificial flowers was 0.51±0.04, 0.53±0.08, 0.55±0.09, 0.60±0.15 และ 0.64±0.12 ml/adult, respectively. The frequency visit of adult hawk moths to various colors of artificial flowers was presented in order from high to low was as follows: chartreuse green, white, yellow, pink and violet."

"Hippotion celerio(L.) were collected and reared with Pisonia grandis under laboratory conditions. Mating occurred at night and each female laid egg singly with an average of 144-155 eggs underneath the leaves of host plants. The egg incubation period lasted for 3.12±0.16 days. The caterpillar hatched after that. They went through the complete metamorphosis with 5 larval instars and 5 moults. The developmental time for the 1st to the 5th larval instar was 3.46±0.48, 2.94±0.41, 2.90±0.50, 3.96±0.66 and 6.92±1.19 days, respectively. The mean head capsule width for instar 1-5 was 0.62±0.02, 1.03±0.05 , 1.58±0.08, 2.40±0.11 and 3.50±0.16 mm, respectively. The larval caudal horn length in mm was 2.27±0.20, 3.77±0.45, 5.80±0.65 , 8.19±0.88 and 8.80±0.72, respectively. The larvae are voracious leaf feeder. This hawk moth species is a polyphagus insects. Their host plants were Pisonia grandis, Boerhavia diffusa, Mirabilis jalapa and one unknown species belonged to Araceae."

"Macroglossum corythus ( Lepidoptera : Sphingidae) was studied under laboratory conditions. External morphology of different stages of hawk moths, :egg, larval instars, prepupa, pupa, and adults was described and illustrated in this paper. Biological characteristics of each life stage are described. In an experiments in with larval were fed on the noni , Morinda citrifolia L. (Rubiaceae). Males and females were fed with honey solution. Eggs are deposited singly on the underside or upperside of noni foliage. The female hawk moth lay 64-91 eggs. The egg incubation period was 3.09±0.19 days. The mean duration time of five larval instars of hawk moth was 1.72±0.16, 1.36±0.15, 1.33±0.18, 1.50±0.35 and 4.42±0.54, respectively. The total larval period including prepupal stage was10.33±0.76 days. The pupal stage lasted 11.51±0.71. The longevity of mated males and female was 5-13 and 7-14 days, respectively. The mean head capsule width for instar 1-5 was 0.64±0.55, 1.01±0.22, 1.56±0.50, 2.42±0.04 and 3.47±0.11 mm, respectively. The larval dorsal horn lengths were 1.96±0.06, 3.93±0.12, 6.62±0.24, 8.71±0.56 and 9.84±0.76 mm, respectively."
