Hummingbird Moth Feeding from Butterfly Bush

(IC: blogger)
The Hummingbird moth earns its name from its ability to feed from flowers like a hummingbird. They also resemble a cross between a small bird, complete with the fur and colorings of a common bumblebee when mature. Their wings are an incredible, intricate display of beauty and power, and can hold them in flight for as long as is required to feed. When they are born, they are the largest caterpillar found in Colorado, and they are generally a very large creature relative to their adulthood size.
