We recorded 14 pollen types belonging to 12 families of angiosperms. Pera (Peraceae) pollen type was found in all genera and was the most abundant. Our results suggest low specificity in the choice of flowers; thus, Sphingids with either short or long proboscises visited flowers of the same species.
