Punaise méditerranéenne qui a migré jusqu’en Europe centrale et même plus au nord à la faveur du changement climatique. Les adultes sont noir et rouge et leurs ailes ont des reflets argentés. Les larves sont aptères et rouge vif. Leurs plantes hôtes sont les les mauves, les hibiscus et les lavatères. Plus au nord, on les trouve sur les tilleuls où elles se rassemblent en grand nombre pour hiverner à l’état adulte. Celle-ci a été observée sur Viburnum tinus.

Hummingbird hawkmoth
I had been going to the same spot for the last 2 weekends trying to shoot this Moth, somehow, it flaps the wings so fast that I had to use such high shutter speed, resulting in high ISO, which creates noise and lack of saturated colors. I may have to visit the Moth again. I was just not happy with the result.
It seems to be the butterfly stroke used in swimming.
