8. Sphingid moths are one of the few animals who have the ability to hover in midair, and are also the fastest members of Lepidoptera. The hovering behavior, also seen in hummingbirds, some bats, and hoverflies (all three are nectar-feeders as well), is an excellent example of convergent evolution — disparate species developing similar.
