closely resembles. It measures across the wings about five 
inches ; is of a gray color, variegated with blackish lines 
and bands ; and on each 
side of the body there are 
five round, orange-colored 
spots encircled with black. 
Hence it is called by Eng¬ 
lish entomologists Sphinx quinquemaculatus (Fig. 144), the 
five-spotted Sphinx. Its tongue can be unrolled to the 
Fig. 147.
