BABY HUMMINGBIRD or a BUG? Which is it?

[TheDragonlover99]

defintily a bug/moth thing :)

[mark19615]

I can confirm it, as a rather rare but beautiful humming hawk moth

[Vylvan]

Damnit where's my pokedex....

[Zabuza123456789]

If you pause at 0:21. It's a bug.

[XSspeeds]

There are a few different names, look up Hawk Moth.

[superduckling5]

imagine the noise that would make when you hit it with a news paper!

[12Jubilee]

pshhhhh ppl r stoopid... its obviously not a pokemon....... ITS MOTHMAN

[johnnypolla]

when i was visiting rome i saw plenty of those at roma termini and thought i was crazy because i know that there are no hummingbirds in rome...when we asked some people (obviously junkies) they just said: papillon. we tried to catch one for about two hours at night but they were too fast.

[MegaChik3n]

Its a humming bird moth. I've seen two in my life. great little insects.

[AmongstTheBracken]

Its a hummingbird Moth. They're actually quite rare.

[esarfmij]

Whoops you did it again! amazing creature, hun! Another name for the moth: Hermans Thisbe, a midsummer night dream . . .

[SteffersFavourites]

I seen one of these once on a hot day, they're amazing! It's a type of moth for anyone wondering, but it mimics the life of a hummingbird.

[JadyEmy]

It's a humming bird moth,

[moonlightreader]

A bug!  :) Good video!

[BrandonMax1000]

both mixed

[Brand00bie]

definitely a bug, it has antennae and six legs.

[Chaaazz2008]

It's a bug. It has six legs! And antennas.

[sam073199]

that is a hummingbird. for sure.

[annedemonangel]

i just found out, this moth is called "hummingbird hawk-moth", since it's so simmilar to the ummingbird!

[annedemonangel]

i loved the comments all put a bit of a smile and giggle on my face :D. Back to serous mode: a bird cannot have antenna and more than 2 legs so it's a type of moth...probably. Moths are fuzzy and their wings are smaller compared to their bodies. It;s a moth i often times tried to catch with my bare hands. I did manage to catch it once but i was affraid i would squish it or it would sting or something so it slipped right away.

[foreveroddity28]

bug

[Lolliloll1285]

When I was five I caught one of these, and when I found out it was just a bug, I was really angry at nature for tricking me.

[1UTUBES1]

It is a moth that acts and looks like a hummingbird. I know because I caught one when I was a little kid thinking it was a hummingbird, but was surprised that is was a moth instead.

[thetick531]

Its a hummingbird moth. I first saw them when I lived in south Carolina, but we moved back to De Soto, MO and I have them here in my gardens too. Are they not just too adorable. And they are not afraid to be right next to you either.

[Darkrai9547]

Clearly, it is a humming bird moth or in other words humming bird hawk moth. They can fool you sometimes

It's a sphinx or hawk moth. They are very cool nectar feeders. and here's a secret, they are what your tomato worms grow up to BE!

[animetrixer]

@bigonegeorgegrace its a hummingbird moth .....

[ca2vagrma]

@bigonegeorgegrace I had to double check your info because I enjoy the Hummingbird Moth and was worried it might be true. In case you want to know the real facts too, the tomato hornworms mature into five-spotted hawkmoths. bugguide.net/node/view/147213

[BalletfreakXD]

@graymoth its a survival technique if it mimics a bird other birds might not eat it but if a bird sees a big bug it's gana want to eat it.

[wolfen1057]

I had two of these in the yard over the summer! I tried to catch one so I could look at it better. I came close, but I never got it. It kept circling my house and the neighbors house for the morning glories that close up at dusk. It wanted dinner.

[PureWhite91]

bug

[deidaragirl4]

It's a hawk moth for three reasons. 1. because it is , 2. it has antennae 3. last time I checked baby hummingbirds can't fly

[deviloclock5]

its obivously a bug i mean since when did hummingbids have antennae or chest legs

[JWOWW88]

[MsBunnyLove228]

[Graymoths]

Why does the moth mimic a hummingbird anyways? o_o

[Chugacon1001]

rare humming bird

[DonSelwashington]

How can it be a baby bird, because baby birds are eggs. So it think it's a butterfly.

[thisisa81honda]

a humping bird?

[skunkbuttmagoo]

the double antennae gives it away...i had one of those by the front of my house this past summer :3 we were shocked to catch it and find out it was a bug :3

really neat though!

[TheFlammar]

its an elephant! it just has to be!

[SkittlesMakeMehCRAZY]

@TheFlammar ROFL

[colyboymex]

its a rat

[jxfry]

Um, the 6 legs gives it away...it is a bug..looks like a moth of some sort!

[Briony2442]

to be precise it is a hummingbird hawk moth. 

[eyegazer]

i saw one of these things when i went to italy and when i found out it was an over-sized moth i freaked out. i have a moth phobia, which is ironic considering my love for butterflies.

[zoomerlawns]

It's a cat.

[anyadkurvapicsaja]

its a bug, translated word-by-word from my language its called a duck tailed butterfly, take a close look @ his tail :P like a duck's

[krissyu84]

I saw one this summer for the first time. I was like wtf.

[mikeofborg2]

I would think the antennae would give away that this is a moth

[xlucidxdreamx]

it's amazing! so cute

[abbygrace00]

This is probably going to sound very mean, but EW :( What if I found one and thought it was a hummingbird, and it touched me? Ughh I dislike bugs

[KuromiCupcake]

so its a bug?

[birdlady520]

Laughing at all the comments - this is a Humbee - look it up. I have them here in Ottawa Canada and they love bee balm plants.

[LENTHEAWESOME]

since when do hummigbirds and moths have sex???

[somprsn2525]

a clearwing hummingbird moth

[sciencegeekgirl45]

I thought they were really tiny hummingbirds the first time I saw them at my house in Northeastern Kentucky. I only started seeing them a few years ago. Then I saw all the legs and figured out it was an insect. Pretty cool looking little guys. They love brightly colored flowers!

[trinketbox1]

As cold as it gets here, they are also in Michigan! Had a relative photograph one in her flowers; definitely a Hummingbird Moth.

[zaccaria932]

it a humming bird moth i have them at my 3 butterfly bush

[k3rojal]

We grow what is called Moon Flowers and they attract these neat looking creatures every night. Thanks for this great video. AL in Maryland

[bejacker]

Ladew Gardens in Harford County MD has a lot of them in the hummingbird gardens, ditto for Irvine Nature Center. One buzzed me on our patio near our humming bird garden in Lutherville MD. They like Milkweed pollen. I doubt their rare b\c their plentiful at Irvine and Ladew, and a friend saw one near MD line in PA. Are they really rare - their humming sound is very distinctive. inststructor at Irvine Nature center identified it during our class on Hummingbirds.

[goodp4986]

I think it it's a huming bird but idk

[BenDStraw301]

i just saw one - glad to see your video, I thought I was crazy!

[Deckinickinic]

NATURE! Let me mess with you.

[lilacpiglet]

It's a bee hummingbird! Where was this?

[senpoloway88]

This is exactly the "thing" I saw in our backyard at some flowers here in South Alabama. I was sure it was some sort of bug, but it's resemblance to a hummingbird is uncanny. I am very used to looking at hummingbirds, they're everywhere here, but this was about half the size. It even made the humming sound, and the wings, tail, and proboscis appeared to be almost identical in shape to a hummingbird. It's movements were also very hummingbird-like; pretty cool, I had never seen one before.

[MaryBeth2you]

OMG! I just saw one outside my house in Maryland and came to look it up. The first of its kind that I've ever seen -- and unfortunately I do spend time looking! Thanks for posting this video.

[ohyeah667]

bug

[grimlan1997]

[DivaMomochi]

[summersaffirerose]

phh ha it looks like a rat combinded with a hummingbird

[gracehamel]

i told you pokemon were real!

[Ing00]

looks like a mix of a butterfly, snail and a pinguin

[lmbarak]

The first time I saw one of these I thought it was a tiny, furry, flying lobster.

[spatzibear]

i think a hummingbird will have more feathers so it is a bug

[pooch55]

i saw something like that in my backyard last week! i couldnt figure out if it was a bee or humingbird haha

[bellahorse151]

Yea it seems like a humming moth to me i have several of those in the fields and i life on a ranch so not much to nuture there exept horse poop or cows manure.

[CatSqrrlGrrl]

Wowww, that is amazing. It's a moth -- but I'd never seen this variation before. How fascinating!

[Xaavier26]

that's actually a moth

[xINVISIGOTHx]

neat music

[shadicon91]

What in the world....?

[RebeckaSarkozy]

Oh my gosh, what a beautiful creature!

[qavroj]

maybe both

[bellahorse151]

@qavroj yea its a humming bird moth but idk if its still animal or insect.

[Kitsune]

@bellahorse151 You speak as if insects aren't animals.

[bellahorse151]

@Kitsune really i'm not sure!

[bellahorse151]

@Kitsune really i'm not sure! If an inesct is an animal then why did they come up with 2 words for it i'll never know :p.

[Kitsune]

@bellahorse151 .. Because "Animal" encompasses a whole group of living beings, while "Insect" is just a section of that group. Like "Reptile," "Mammal," "Bird," "Fish."

[bellahorse151]

@Kitsune ok..... kool well now i know but really i'm not the smart person only when it comes to art, cooking, and riding but other then that i never really learned about widlife experience stuff b4.

[jtelehman1]
