Agrius cingulata
The Pink-spotted Hawkmoth or Sweetpotato Hornworm (''Agrius cingulata'' syn. ''A. cingulatus'') is a species of moth in the Sphingidae family.
The imago has a wingspan of 3 - 4 inches (9.5 – 12 cm). Its robust body is gray-brown with pink bands. The abdomen tapers to a point. The hindwings are gray with black bands and pink at the bases. It is nocturnal. It feeds on the nectar from deep-throated flowers including moonflower (''Calonyction aculeatum''), morning glories (''Convolvulus'' species), and petunias (''Petunia'' species).
The larva is a large, stout caterpillar with a horn. It feeds during the day and the night on sweet potato (''Ipomoea batatas''), ''Datura'' species, and other plants. It is known as a pest of sweet potato.
== Distribution ==
This is mainly a neotropical species, and the adults migrate north to Canada and south to Patagonia and the Falkland Islands. It can also be found in the Galápagos Islands and Hawaii. It has been reported from western Europe, including Portugal and the United Kingdom. It has recently become established in West Africa and Cape Verde, possibly having originated in Brazil.〔(Agrius cingulatus ) (section "Distribution")〕
