White-lined sphinx

People often mistake it for a hummingbird because of its size and the way it hovers.

At night it picks white or pale flowers, which are easier to see in the dark. In the daytime it picks brightly coloured ones.

Its caterpillars come in many colours, from black with orange spots to lime green.

Sometimes the caterpillars gather in huge groups and can eat a garden bare.

Its furry body has six white stripes across the back.
