Terrible photo of the first hummingbird moth, sipping nectar from a blue salvia
Terrible photo but first “hummingbird moth” (I don’t know what the real name of this species is) but it is my favorite. They seem to come out about an half-hour before dark during peak skeeter hour. #HummingbirdHawkMoth #gardening
I had a Hummingbird Hawk moth in my garden this morning, Poole, Dorset.
That is the earliest I’ve seen one and it was cold and breezy.
I guess it overwintered here. lyndalambert.bsky.social @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social

This guy has been hanging out on my screen all day.
Moth that is black and gray, somewhat striped, with spots of orange. It has two thin, black antennae, and a long, thing proboscis that is inserted into a small white flower. It is hovering in the air in front of the flower. There are a few other white flowers, and some pink, leafy clusters, and larger green leaves. The background is blurry green leaves.
Time for a break from the snow and ice. Here's a hummingbird hawk moth. Photo taken in November, Hinoike Park, Nishinomioya, Japan.

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
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.
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.

After numerous attempts to get a photo of a #hummingbirdhawkmoth the planets finally lined up this morning.

A close-up scene of nature with a focus on a vibrant pink flower cluster and a small hummingbird hawk-moth hovering near it. The flower has many tiny, densely packed blossoms forming an elongated cone shape. The moth is captured mid-flight, with its wings blurred slightly due to rapid movement. It has a brownish body and long proboscis extended toward the flower, likely feeding on nectar. The background is dark and out of focus, which highlights the bright colors of the flower and the moth in the foreground. The overall mood is serene and detailed, emphasizing the delicate interaction between the insect and the flower.
Haven't shot backyard wildlife in several decades. It was fun to play around with it after so many years.

Yesterday I saw my first #HummingbirdHawkMoth and freely admit, I was intimidated. It stared me down while I tried to figure out if it was a bird or a bug or a multidimensional monitoring device. I could really use a @zefrank.bsky.social video about them.

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.
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.

I'm still shooketh, this morning I was visited by a #HummingbirdHawkMoth - It flew up to my balcony on the sixth floor of my flat in Bethnal Green... It flitted about my lobelia for a moment. This drawn today to celebrate, a work in progress! Have you seen them? if so where?... :)
Whoever is responsible for planting up in the happy valley on the Great Orme is on to a big winner with this white lavender. It’s SO popular! All the creatures love it, it must be delicious 🍽️ and I was thrilled to be able to watch this wonderful chonker dining 😍🦋💛

Ein Taubenschwänzchen – ein schmetterlingsartiges Insekt – schwebt mit schnellen Flügelschlägen seitlich über einer orangefarbenen Blume, kurz vor dem Nektarflug. Die Szene ist in Nahaufnahme aufgenommen. Der Hintergrund ist weich verschwommen in grünlichen Tönen, wodurch das Insekt und die Blüte im Vordergrund deutlich hervortreten. Die Bewegung der Flügel ist leicht verschwommen und vermittelt den Eindruck von Geschwindigkeit.
Nicht ganz Kolibri, nicht ganz Schmetterling – doch ganz und gar faszinierend - Ein Taubenschwänzchen
