A Hummingbird Hawkmoth feeding from a patch of red valerian. This is a fairly large brown moth, with a white chin, pale underparts, and mosaic patches of cream, white, and black towards the rear of its body. Its forewings are brown with wavy black lines across them, and its hind wings are vivid orange. It has long black antennae, and an extremely long, black tongue, which allows it to feed from tube-shaped flowers while hovering above them.

𝗣𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗘𝗻𝗴): We see a hummingbird hawk-moth sipping nectar from rosemary flowers with its very long proboscis. The photo isn't very good because the moth is almost from behind, although we can clearly see one of its eyes and antennae. Its body is pinned in the air, while its wings appear to be fluttering from the rapid movement as it hover. 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗰𝗶𝗼́𝗻 (𝗘𝘀𝗽): Vemos una polilla esfinge colibrí libando nectar de unas flores de romero con su larguísima trompa. La foto no es muy buena porque se ve a la polilla casi de espaldas, aunque podemos ver uno de sus ojos y las antenas con claridad. Su cuerpo está suspendido en el aire, mientras que sus alas aparecen trepidaras por el rápido movimiento mientras vuela.

The hummingbird hawk-moth is a day-flying moth known for its remarkable resemblance to a hummingbird, hovering in front of flowers to feed on nectar. Its fast-beating wings create a buzzing sound and a blur of motion, often leading to it being mistaken for a bird. #Bird #hummingbirdhawkmoth

Dagnabbit. When you can only get the back end. But this is the first time I have seen a #HummingbirdHawkMoth in the wild. So calling it a win.

A Humming Bird Hawk Moth. Unfortunately I could not get another profile so only the back end but it was very active in a patch of wildflowers as we walked by.

A #Hummingbirdhawkmoth on one of our buddleias yesterday evening. We get them every year here in suburban Torquay, with this year's coming and going for the last three weeks or so.

Sat whole afternoon watching the wildlife doing their thing 😊
The #wasps were busy chewing grass 4 some reason, maybe they'd consumed too many apples & figs 🙄, juvenile #wren was hopping in & out of the riotous scrub round the shed, #HummingbirdHawkmoth was back sipping nectar & woody snoozed.
