Hummingbird hawk moth uses sight to aim its long proboscis

Maddy Prichard, HR Officer, was "delighted to see a hummingbird hawk moth in my garden this year! I've never seen one up close, and I was totally fascinated by it." The hummingbird hawk-moth has greyish-brown forewings, bright orange hindwings, and a greyish body with a broad, black-and-white 'tail'. Its hovering flight is a distinguishing feature; it flutters its wings so quickly that it can appear orange and makes an audible hum. | Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust
