Hawk moths is known as a pollinator in nature. It is a stenophagous organism which the larva feed only young karunda leaves (&lt;em&gt;Carissa carandas&lt;/em&gt; L.). The objectives of this study is to investigate the color and&amp;nbsp; structure of karunda flowers (n=30), crepuscular hawk moths&amp;rsquo; proboscis, and the color of artificial flowers attraction and amount of 25% honey solution uptake of the hawk moths. The results showed that karunda&amp;rsquo;s flowers were white color with a tubular shaped flowers (averaged 19.20&amp;plusmn;1.16 mm long). The proboscis length of the male and female hawk moth was 46.03&amp;plusmn;2.33 and 44.03 &amp;plusmn; 2.08 mm, respectively. The uptake of honey solution from violet, yellow, pink, white and chartreuse green of artificial flowers was 0.51&amp;plusmn;0.04, 0.53&amp;plusmn;0.08, 0.55&amp;plusmn;0.09, 0.60&amp;plusmn;0.15 และ 0.64&amp;plusmn;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.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
