Well Rounded

The long tongue of the Hummingbird Clearwing Moth

 

Excited to see this visitor at the butterfly bush

 

This moth comes out during the day time. It was hovering around the butterfly bush blossoms much like a hummingbird would. They have a long tongue so they can reach the nectar on flowers, and this allows them to hover and eat! They are smaller than a hummingbird.
