Re: hummingbird moth

They are lovely. We get many of them here. I also saw many in the south of France and managed to get a photo of one hovering over my friendīs hanging basket, itīs tongue right inside the flower.

Re: hummingbird moth

The only time that I have seen a Hummingbird Moth was years ago when I was when on holiday in Austria. It was feeding on the flowers on my balcony.

Re: hummingbird moth

They are lovely creatures, but difficult to photograph, this was the best I got.
