\"This scientific article presents information on how Sphinx ligustri (Linnaeus, 1758) shows different sizes at different stages of development in relation to feed.
Plant species with the highest nutritional value have been identified for Sphinx ligustri (Linnaeus, 1758).
When feeding with various feeds (within 21-23 days), the highest rate was in the larvae of the Sphinx ligustri, which were fed with the Syringa plant. The larvae that fed on this plant increased very quickly.
The duration of diapause was also shorter than in larvae feeding on other plants.\"

\"The districts of the Samarkand region are of particular importance due to the richness of plant and animal species. From this point of view, it is a very rich area in terms of the number of species of hawk moths. As a result of specially conducted research, it was found that 16 species of hawk moths belonging to 12 genera and 3 subfamilies can be found in the area. This scientific article provides information on the biological and ecological characteristics of 16 species of hawk moths.\"

\"A pilot study of moth diversity was conducted along the transitional area of the Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, West Bengal, India. A total of 226 species of moths belonging to 193 genera, 14 Superfamilies, 25 families, and 54 Subfamilies were recorded and identified within the study area. All specimens were collected using light traps, and opportunist survey methods. The family wise species richness data indicated family Crambidae the highest with 28 \% of the total species followed by Erebidae 19.11 \%, Geometridae 16.88 \%, Noctuidae 4.4\%, Sphingidae 3.11\% while the rest 28.5\% species belonged to 20 other families.\"

\"The present study was conducted at the campus of Department of Life Sciences, M.K. Bhavanagar University, Bhavanagar, Gujarat. Study compiled as baseline contribution to diversity and distribution of moths in the campus, Population status of moth, a species richness, abundance, evenness, diversity indices. Selected site was surveyed from July 2022 - December 2022.130 species of Moths were yield as a result of present study. Noctuoidea was found to be the most species rich super-family with 59 species and 2 super-families represent least diversity with single species illustrative. A pellucid change was seen in a number of species during peak of monsoon, September. Maximum species were recorded in the month of September (88) whereas least number of species were recorded in the month of December (11), which marks the beginning of winter. The survey enhanced understanding of the bio-diversity of Moths in Gujarat region and will be helpful in conducting further research and conservation operations. The diversity indices for moth fauna of this area have been calculated for the first time from the department of life sciences. Across the survey, Simpson\’s Diversity Index (D), Shannon Diversity Index (H), Pielou\’s evenness index (J) were respectively as 0.28,1.54 and 0.67.\"

\"The present study was conducted at Vagamon hill station to evaluate the biodiversity of moths. During the present study, a total of 675 moth specimens were collected from the study area which represented 112 species from 16 families and eight super families. Though much of the species has been reported earlier from other parts of India, 15 species were first records for the state of Kerala. The highest species richness was shown by the family Erebidae and the least by the families Lasiocampidae, Uraniidae, Notodontidae, Pyralidae, Yponomeutidae, Zygaenidae and Hepialidae with one species each. The results of this preliminary study are promising; it sheds light on the unknown biodiversity of Vagamon hills which needs to be strengthened through comprehensive future surveys.\"
