The way their wings spread out is so damn coooooool. They have pretty wings, but they're still disgusting because they're insects ><

Yes this is a very educational video. I am disappointed there is no sound to help identify these late summer hummers.

Why do they hang around their shells even after they finish?

It takes a few hours before their exoskeleton and wings are dry/hard. Until then, they can't fly, and moving around would risk damaging their wings. So they just hang there until they are ready to fly away.

I am aware of no laws in the United States regarding the capture of these insects. They are far from being extinct. And yes, these were released after being filmed.
