Hummingbird Hawk-Moth

Macroglossum stellatarum

Family – Hawk-moths (Sphingidae)

Medium/Large Sized

Wingspan Range – 50-58mm

 

A beautiful day flying moth, their wings beat so rapidly (70–80 times a second). They dart from flower to flower with their long proboscis uncoiled, which gives the illusion of a hummingbird 🌸

 

A very challenging image to catch, as they are so quick

 

Have a lovely day & keep exploring
