Title: Arthropoda & Insecta & Lepidoptera & Macroglossinae, Hummingbird Hawk Moth [Go to resource]
Description: The Hummingbird Hawkmoth, unlike most other hawkmoth species, is active during the day. It takes it's name from it's habit of hovering in front of flowers such as honeysuckle, and feeding from them with it's long proboscis - this makes it look like a hummingbird. It flies very rapidly, it's wings beating so fast that they are just a blur.
