Manduca moth, will it use a hummingbird feeder?

I'm a preschool teacher and I have a Manduca caterpillar that just hatched this morning.  It's hanging on it's branch and it's wings are inflated.  I put a hummingbird feeder with nectar (sugar water) in it, into the box.  Will the moth live on that or not?  I know that it only lives for about a week.  The kids have been wating for about 4 months for it to hatch, so I didn't want to let it go right away.  But, I also don't want it to die from starvation.  Thank you.

It should be able to.  It's proboscis is twice as long as it's body and it feeds the same way hummingbirds do, by hovering in the air while feeding.

Good luck.

Thanks.  We'll see how it does.

You're welcome.  There is a lot of information, including pictures, about your moth on the web.  It's too bad you don't have a night vision webcam in your classroom so the students can see it when it's really active.
