While watering my hanging flower pots this evening, this little Clearwing Moth – aka Hummingbird Moth came to visit. With the lilacs all but faded, there’s not much in my garden to feast on until the lavender blooms – except for my hanging baskets. She must have been hungry because she didn’t mind me filming her from just a few inches away. A lovely experience!
And here’s a short slow-motion version.
I have those moth’s every year on my butter fly bushes! I’ve seen the head part and the bumble bee butt but not the middle! So your pictures have shown me what I was missing! The wings were going so that you couldn’t see! My phone is kinda messed up so my email isn’t working! Maybe next month!
That is so cool! I’ve never seen those Moths before. Thanks for the video.
