Vestibular feedback for flight control in hawkmoths
Trends in Neurosciences, 2023Flying insects require mechanosensory feedback to rapidly generate compensatory responses to unexpected perturbations. Such feedback is critical in insects such as moths, which fly under low light levels, compromising their ability to visually compensate for aerial perturbations.

Tympanal and Atympanal ‘Mouth–Ears’ in Hawkmoths (Sphingidae) [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London Series B, Biological Sciences, 2002 The labral pilifers and the labial palps form ultrasound-sensitive hearing organs in species of two distantly related hawkmoth subtribes, the Choerocampina and the Acherontiina. Biomechanical examination now reveals that their ears represent different types of hearing organs.

Hawkmoths are large charismatic insects with highly variable and colourful larvae. Some species are specialised in their habitat preferences, but others are widespread and often encountered in gardens. However, little is known about most species, and associating the adults with their larvae has previously been difficult or impossible.

The Hawkmoth Fauna of Pakistan (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae)
Zootaxa, 2014This study represents the first complete modern account of the Sphingidae of Pakistan and takes the form of an annotated checklist, based on several national collections and those of a number of individuals. Of the 60 species and subspecies found, 14 are new records to the fauna of Pakistan, namely Agnosia orneus, Langia zenzeroides subsp. zenzeroides,

Scotopic colour vision in nocturnal hawkmoths
Nature, 2002Humans are colour-blind at night, and it has been assumed that this is true of all animals. But colour vision is as useful for discriminating objects at night as it is during the day. Here we show, through behavioural experiments, that the nocturnal hawkmoth Deilephila elpenor uses colour vision to discriminate coloured stimuli at intensities ...

Modelling Multi-modal Learning in a Hawkmoth
2006The moth Macroglossum stellatarum can learn the colour and sometimes the odour of a rewarding food source We present data from 20 different experiments with different combinations of blue and yellow artificial flowers and the two odours honeysuckle and lavender The experiments show that learning about the odours depends on the colour used By training ...
