We see these curious ones only at night.... very hard to catch them on camera! And they come in many sizes, too! From that of a hummingbird (just about), to no bigger than a tiny bee!
PS .. I would normally advise against ignoring the "weak ones" that make unrelated or ignorant comments about random videos (you know of whom I speak), but honestly it's quite entertaining. To live a life that has so LITTLE going for it that ALL you can do is snipe random YouTube videos to make yourself feel better...that's both pathetic AND humorous! Seriously...A BUG VIDEO...with "tough guy" comments...that's a scream!
Thank you for the video. Solved a Scooby Doo mystery for us. It was hard to figure out what the hummingbird-like insect was that floated around our plants was.
Look, I have seen these in my own backyard ... I appreciate all you "scientists" telling me they are moths, but I am quite sure they are hummingbirds.
I was once on my porch getting ready to go to the store. and I saw something on the pillar. SO I'm like...wtf is that? It looked like a damn bat. Turns out it was a friggan hawk moth. Yet I've never seen THIS kinda moth before on the porch. It was HUGE. I let it go cause I didn't feel right in killing it. I showed it to my neighbors though. They had never seen a moth THAT huge before either.
One of these invaded my room last night. Sadly my reflex reaction in my panic due to bug phobia was to detonate it with an electrified bug swatter :S I feel kinda bad now!
cuter than a bee, more accurate than a dopey butterfly, and it's not a rude jerk like a hummingbird. little moth is welcome to feast on our flowers any day of the week!
I saw one of these yesterday and at first I was like omg! it's a hummingbird, but I quickly realized it wasn't. They kind of look like flying shrimp to me.
We had one of these type of moths feeding on our impatiences this morning. We were totally freaked out because we never saw a moth like this before. It was green like a humming bird but could definitely tell it was a moth.
Only ever seen one in my local woodland but my camera lens wasn't long enough to get a shot. Went looking for it today but couldn't find it again which is a shame because I bought a new lens so I could get pictures of butterflies and moths more easily. Those moths are spectacular to watch.
you do not sound odd my friend, moths are beautiful, as much as butterflies and beetles are too., by the way, check my vid of a striped hawkmoth, you will like it for sure :)
Where have you spotted it? Was it in the UK? If it is whereabouts? I'm asking cause I might be doing my thesis film on these hummingbird hawkmoth therefore I'm trying to see where I can find them when they start arriving in June. Thanks!
its a MOTH??? WTF
