I've read stories where a lot of people have mistaken the hummingbird moth for an actual hummingbird. That didn't happen to me. I mistook it for a bumblebee.
|
It was constantly moving, making it difficult to get some clear shots. For every clear shot I got, there's about 10 more blurry ones.

It's amazing how far they can extend their proboscis to get the nectar.

In flight, with its proboscis neatly curled.
