I haven't seen any around here in DE, but I need the sphinx moth to pollinate my 2 Night-blooming cereus plant's blossoms.

Above is not mine but is the same flower. They bloom only after dark and thru the night giving off a scent that smells like heaven. When daylight comes they're done and close only to die if not pollinated. If the blossom has been pollinated by the sphinx moth or a bat, then it will produce fruit.

Which one needed, I have no idea. LOL
