Manduca dilucida
Manduca dilucida is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is found from Mexico to Belize, Nicaragua and Costa Rica and possibly across northern South America to Venezuela.[2]
The wingspan is 95-98 mm.
Adults have been recorded in February and from April to October in Costa Rica. There are probably three generations per year.
The larvae feed on Annona reticulata, Annona holosericea, Sapranthus palanga, Amphilophilum paniculatum, Crescentia alata, Tabebuia ochracea, Cordia alliodora and Cornutia grandifolia. There are several colour morphs and five instars. The first instar is pale green with a black horn.
