Darwin and his fellow naturalist, Alfred Russel Wallace, made predictions about the existence of the Sphinx Wallace Moth, which symbiotically interacts with orchids that have very long nectar tubes. In 1862, Charles Darwin received a Madagascan orchid through the mail. Its flower has a very long nectar tube, called a spur, measuring one foot (30 centimeters) in length.
Naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace revealed in 1867 that some species larger than the Sphingidae moth family (also known as sphinx moths or hawk moths) have proboscises nearly as long as the nectar of Angraecum sesquipedale.
The two naturalists were proven right when the long-tongued moth was finally discovered in Madagascar. In 1903, the moth was identified as a subspecies of the Morgan's sphinx moth (Xanthopan morganii) and given the scientific name X. m. praedikta. The predicted pollination by Darwin and Wallace could only be observed and photographed in the 1990s.
Recently, this moth has been recognized to have the longest insect tongue. A taxonomic study published in 2021 concluded that this insect should be classified as a separate species and given the scientific name Xanthopan praedicta.
