This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.Īdams, P. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. sexta is one of the relatively large sphingids, a distinct advantage for a biologist seeking information on the physiology of body-temperature regulation of an insect. Despite this great variety, a little over half of the 50 existing publications on moth thermoregulation concern just one family, the Sphingidae (commonly called “sphinx” or “hawk moths”), and 10 of these papers are on a single species, the common tobacco hornworm moth, Manduca sexta (formerly Protoparce). The order Lepidoptera, besides butterflies, includes over 10,000 primarily nocturnal species of moths in North America and Mexico alone. AS anyone who has ever passed a summer evening on a country porch will attest, moths are a highly varied group.
