I was so excited today to see a humming bird hawkmoth hovering on a lilac bush in the centre of Edinburgh! Gosh its October for goodness sake this must be a major sign of global warming! I didn't get a photo and the moth's wings were moving so quickly that any photo I took wouldn't have come out. But there are some photos on the UK Safari website: http://www.uksafari.com/hummingbird2.htm.

what a sight huh ! i'm sure you'll have a chance next time to take a photo .
We have a similar species, a Hummingbird Clearwing Moth. I managed to get a decent picture of one some time back.
HI there - thanks for the comments.
Nike - I doubt I'll ever see a humming bird moth again in Edinburgh, if I do I certainly hope I have a camera with me!
Farfetched - thanks for sharing your photo!
I love these guys! (or our version thereof...) They are truly amazing-- thanks for sharing! And thanks for stopping by the long-dormant Foothills Fancies.
Best,
Sally
