Often found hovering above rabbitbrush, the White-lined Sphinx moth (Hyles lineata) is an important pollinator for the plants at Grand Canyon. The Sphinx moth is diurnal, meaning it's active during the day. They move like hummingbirds, hovering over plants with their fast beating wings—which can move as quickly as 70 flaps per second!
