I watched an episode of Gardener's World where the husband was a moth fanatic and he had a hummingbird hawk moth captured. We don't have those in the States. They're very big !!
Great catch Zigs. You must have some tempting snacks for that one. we have them here humming bird moth. They look much like a smaller version if a humming bird. Hummingbird moths, primarily the White-lined Sphinx (Hyles lineata), are commonly seen in Oregon during summer, feeding on flowers like penstemon and honeysuckle. Known for hovering and making a buzzing sound.
I used to think they were hummingbirds until I learned they don’t exist where I live. They always appear when my luffa plants start to flower, and I love watching them feed on the blossoms.
