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

Time for a break from the snow and ice. Here's a hummingbird hawk moth. Photo taken in November, Hinoike Park, Nishinomioya, Japan.

#FotoVorschlag: Kleine Sache, die glücklich macht // A little thing that makes you happy

Als ich im September zum allerersten Mal ein einigermaßen scharfes Bild von einem #Taubenschwänzchen im Garten meiner Eltern machen konnte, war ich total glücklich

I was super happy when I finally managed to capture a fairly sharp photo of a #hummingbirdHawkMoth in my parents' garden in September

Der Unterboden eines Taubenschwänzchens (Macroglossum stellatarum) wird anscheinend so selten fotografiert, dass #obsidentify mir erklären wollte, das sei mit 49% Wahrscheinlichkeit ein Turmfalke :D

The underside of a hummingbird hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) is apparently so rarely photographed that #obsidentify wanted to tell me it was a kestrel :D

Hummingbird Hawk moth

The hummingbird hawk-moth is a species of hawk moth found across temperate regions of Eurasia.

The species is named for its similarity to hummingbirds, as they feed on the nectar of tube-shaped flowers using their long proboscis while hovering in the air; this resemblance is an example of convergent evolution

Haven't shot backyard wildlife in several decades. It was fun to play around with it after so many years.

Nicht sicher wie diese kleinen Kollegen heißen, ich vermute es ist eine kleine Motte
