''Isognathus caricae'' is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from Costa Rica, French Guiana, Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil. It is similar to ''Acherontia'' species and other ''Isognathus'' species, from which it can be distinguished by the dark marginal band of the hindwing upperside, which is replaced by a series of black streaks along the veins. There are probably multiple generations per year. The larvae have been recorded feeding on ''Himatanthus obovatus'', ''Allamanda cathartica'' and ''Allamanda schottii''. They have long tails and are very colourful, suggesting they are unpalatable to birds. ==Subspecies== *''Isognathus caricae caricae'' (Costa Rica, French Guiana, Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil) *''Isognathus caricae rainermarxi'' Eitschberger, 1999 (Peru) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Isognathus caricae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
