Have any of you ever heard of the hummingbird moths we get in Britain?

So, I thought I saw a hummingbird last year. It was much bigger than a bug could be, I thought, and it hovered around flowers and looked like it had feathers.

I got pretty close but it was never still enough to see clearly. Then, when I told my parents they said "oh! it was probably a moth!" and I was baffled for a long time. Like, how could a moth look like and act so much like a hummingbird?

Until I googled "hummingbirds in the UK" and this fucker comes up:

Everyone, meet the hummingbird hawk-moth; one of the weirdest and coolest cases of convergent evolution on this planet.

This is the kinda thing I'd see in fiction and go "oooh cool, bug hummingbird! Wish we had those on earth!" But we do. We really do have them on earth!! Isn't that nuts?!?!?

Fruczak gołąbek, or the hummingbird hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) is oftentimes called the Polish hummingbird. The actual hummingbird is native to the Americas, while this little guy can be found in Europe, northern Africa, as well as part of Asia. Adult specimen consume flower nectar, and here you can see it having a little snack in my mum's garden 🌸🌱

My new favourite flower - hummingbird hawk-moth stays relatively still for a long time while feeding, so I get way more chances than on lavender.
