Description
The hummingbird moth (Hemaris diffinis) is a moth species, but it more closely resembles a bumblebee. It even feeds on nectar from flowers, similar to the bug it resembles. This coloring is there to scare off predators, making them think that this bug will cause a painful sting. However, these moths are actually harmless. It is also called a flying lobster, see through wings. A small hummingbird moth appeared in my view by surprise while looking for butterflies. Today is a lucky one for me. It is rear to see a hummingbird moth.
