A strange-looking creature...
The Hummingbird hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) is a species of Hawk moth found across temperate regions of Eurasia. The species is named for its similarity to hummingbirds, as they feed on the nectar of tube-shaped flowers using their long proboscis while hovering in the air; this resemblance is an example of convergent evolution.
