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
