caption_attribution_description: Français&#160;: Le Sphinx du caille-lait (Macroglossum stellatarum L.) ou Sphinx colibri ou encore Moro Sphinx possède une très longue trompe pour butiner les fleurs en vol stationnaire comme les oiseaux-mouches. Il butine généralement le nectar des fleurs que les autres insectes ne peuvent atteindre. Son vol est d'une précision et d'une rapidité peu communes. Cet insecte migrateur, peut se rencontrer presque partout dans l'hémisphère nord en été, mais il réside uniquement dans les climats tempérés les plus chauds (Espagne, Portugal, Italie, Turquie, Afrique du Nord).
