Mimicry - Hummingbird or Moth? Mimique - Oiseau mouche ou Papillon de Nuit?

You might think that you are seeing a tiny humming bird but you're not. This is a daytime moth called the Hummingbird Hawk Moth (Macroglossum stellatarum). It is fascinating to watch. Mine seems to prefer Lavander and Sweet William.
Vous pourrez imaginer que vous êtes en train de regarder un tout petit oiseau mouche, mais non! Cet un papillion de nuit (de jour) qui est le Macroglossum stellatarum. Il est fascinant. Le mien semble préfer la Lavande ou les Oeillets de Poète.
