Humming-Bird Hawk-Moth
Macroglossum stellatarum
The adult is a day-flying hawk-moth found around flower-rich gardens, grasslands, and warm open habitats. It hovers in front of blossoms and drinks nectar with a long proboscis, moving rapidly from flower to flower. Its fast, hummingbird-like flight and ability to remember rewarding flowers make it one of the most recognizable moths in its range.
