About Ceratomia undulosa Walker, 1856
Ceratomia undulosa, commonly called the waved sphinx, is a moth species belonging to the family Sphingidae. It was first formally described by Francis Walker in 1856, and it is also known by the common name "Scorpion Moth" (more information can be found in the Biology section below). This species is distributed across the United States and southern Canada, in areas located east of the Rocky Mountains. According to Fullard & Napoleone (2001), adult waved sphinx moths are strictly nocturnal, and retreat to hide when dawn comes.
