Have Any Of You Ever Heard Of The Hummingbird Moths We Get In Britain?

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:

Have Any Of You Ever Heard Of The Hummingbird Moths We Get In Britain?

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?!?!?

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.

Day 3 of October drawing prompts!

Mothtober: Hummingbird Hawk-Moth

Maltober: Ghosts/ Regrets

Apparently these moths can symbolize good luck. I had to ponder for a while about the intersection between good luck and ghosts/ regrets, and figured that both love and time existed in the space between both. This reminded me of Jane Austen’s Persuasion, and a wonderful, poignant quote from near the end of the book. I really do love how it turned out with the ghostly hand.
