A 1997 study found correlations between tongue length and latitude distribution: mean tongue length declines from around 40 mm to as short as 15 mm as northern latitude increase from 0 to 50 degrees. The author speculates that tongues have lengthened in hawk moths of extratropical regions where it is more difficult and energetically costly to find larval food plants that are often inconspicuous, thus they need to take up more nectar at once to fuel their longer flights. Conversely, in more norther regions, short tongues are sufficient because finding larval food plants is an easier task and they do not need to take up as much nectar to fuel their flights.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0.5em 0px; color: rgb(32, 33, 34); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0.5em 0px; color: rgb(32, 33, 34); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0.5em 0px; color: rgb(32, 33, 34); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eFemales have almost uniformly gray forewings with black markings on the basal half and near the center of the costa, although some are nearly all black.
