I love seeing these clearwing, or hummingbird moths, partly because they don’t come around that often and because of their relatively large-bodied fuzziness. Caught this one on a dark overcast day in the office garden. (Sorry about the too-hot flash.)

Fabulous!! I saw the Bee Hawkmoth on Lantana flowers when we were in Greece. They’re just amazing to watch!!
They really are — so hummingbird-like in their behavior!
I’ve never seen a hummingbird but I have gathered from various wildlife programs that some hummingbirds are only the size, or smaller, than hummingbird hawkmoths. Nature is truly extraordinary and it’s so exciting when you get to watch one her little miracles 🙂
