The white stripes on the forewings of the greyish adults are easy to pick out, though, and help identify these insects in the field. With a wingspan of nearly 4 inches, it's easy to understand why this species can be mistaken for a hummingbird as it feeds. One of the most common members of this group in Wisconsin is the white-lined sphinx moth (Hyles lineata). From a distance, these moths can easily be mistaken for hummingbirds as they skillfully maneuver from flower-to-flower sipping nectar with their long mouthparts. Several species in the "sphinx" or "hawk" moth group (Family Sphingidae) are known for their day-flying, hummingbird-like behavior. Observant visitors to parks and gardens around Wisconsin over the summer might have noticed a surprising creature hovering among the flowers - the hummingbird-like sphinx moth.
