Is it a bird?....a bug?....a butterfly? No!…it’s a hummingbird moth!
You might think you just saw a hummingbird!? Take a good look and notice it has a proboscis instead of a beak?
Hummingbird moths fly and move just like hummingbirds. They can stay still hovering and humming in the air in front of a flower and sip nectar.
Hummingbird moths have a super fast wingbeat up to 70 beats per second, and can fly up to 12 mph!
It’s delightful to have a such a pleasant visitor in the garden!
