A hummingbird hawk-moth was flying among the lavender flowers when @Konenpanien and I were on the way to the supermarket this morning. We don't always have the opportunity to see one that stays among the same flowers long enough to film it. It's a pity we didn't have a better camera with us.

Quanto mais relvado, menos diversidade! Transforme o seu jardim num paraíso para polinizadores, plante espécies diversas e floridas, de preferência autóctones ou comestíveis.

#alttext: Jardim florido - muitos insetos, borboletas, abelhas, libélulas, joaninhas, grilos, e muitos outros; relvado e algumas flores - borboletas, mosquitos, moscas, vespas; só relvado - moscas e mosquitos.
