By capturing nectaring, gravid, day-flying Sphingidae females in my blackberry patch or taking
mesmerized night-flying females at lights, I have been able to obtain eggs and rear many
Sphingidae native to Prince Edward Island, Canada.
You can click on the hypertext name in the index below to see images of adults, larvae, eggs
and/or pupae and also obtain general information about the Sphingidae native to Prince Edward
Island.
