| Abstract | STEWART, PAUL A. Observations on Flights of Released Tobacco Hornworm Moths, Manducasexla (johannson) Order Lepidoptera; Family Sphingi'dae. Ohio J. Sci. 75(2): 83, 1975. When released over water, tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta) moths flew with the wind, even at wind speeds of 4.8 to 8.0 km/hr. The moths flew toward cover only when released within about 7.G m from the cover. When coming to rest the moths sought shaded sites. Flight take-off was not inhibited by rainfall, and the moths were able to lift from the water surface after falling onto it. The moths made overwater flights in escaping from an island. |
