Description Hummingbird or bee moth
The hummingbird hawk-moth is a species of moths best known for its physical and behavioral resemblance of a hummingbird. Unlike most moths, it flies during the daytime hours, frequently at dawn and the evening. Much like a hummingbird, it can be found hovering over a flower helping itself to its pollen. Some other commons names that it may be recognized by are the "hummingbird moth" and the "bee moth." It can be seen in many different parts of the world, but mostly in warmer regions.
