二名法 Macroglossum stellatarum(林奈, 1758) Two views of same specimen Macroglossum stellatarum 後黃長喙天蛾（学名：Macroglossum stellatarum）是天蛾科的一个物种。独特而强壮的小天蛾有灰褐色前翅，其上饰有黑色纹线，两性相似。它的长喙和悬停行为，伴随着听得到的嗡嗡声，使它在吸食花蜜时非常象蜂鸟。这种与蜂鸟的相似性是趋同演化的一个例子。幼虫绿色或褐色，尾上有蓝色角；以猪秧秧为食。分布:原生于南欧和北非，并跨越亚洲至日本。它们在白天飞行，尤其是在明亮的日光下，[1]不过也在黄昏、清晨甚至雨中行动，这在日行性的天蛾中不常见。[2]它们的视觉能力被深入研究，目前已经证明它们具有相当强的色彩学习能力。[3] 参考资料 ^ Herrera, Carlos M.

Distribution map: yellow, winter in the Northern Hemisphere; green, year round; blue, summer in the Northern Hemisphere The hummingbird hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) is a species of hawk moth found across temperate regions of Eurasia. The species is named for its similarity to hummingbirds, as they feed on the nectar of tube-shaped flowers using their long proboscis while hovering in the air; this resemblance is an example of convergent evolution.
The hummingbird hawk-moth was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. As of 2018, its mitogenome has been sequenced.
