Abstract:

Typically overshadowed by the butterfly, moths are widely underappreciated for their vital role in the food web and during the pollination process of crops and flowers. Contrary to bees who pollinate during daylight, moths assume the role of pollination at night. Of the moth family, the Sphinx (hawk moth) is known as the "most spectacular moth with over 1,450 species worldwide."
