Hummingbird Hawk-Moth \"\ud83e\udd8b\"<\/span><\/h3>\n
The hummingbird hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) is a small moth belonging to the Sphingidae family. It has a wingspan of 50 mm; the forewings are brownish-gray with black lines.<\/div>\n
This moth, rather stout and robust, is often mistaken for a bumblebee \"\ud83d\udc1d\"<\/span> during flight. It feeds on the nectar of numerous flower species using its very long proboscis, which can reach 26 mm in length, much like a straw \"\ud83e\udd64\"<\/span>.<\/div>\n
The caterpillars \"\ud83d\udc1b\"<\/span>, which are a striking green color, have a characteristic blue posterior horn.<\/div>\n
\"\u2049\ufe0f\"<\/span> Did you know? \"\ud83d\ude32\"<\/span><\/div>\n
It is also called the \u201cHummingbird Moth\u201d because its wings beat incredibly fast (90 beats per second! \"\u23f1\ufe0f\"<\/span>), allowing it to hover in mid-air while sipping nectar from flowers. This way, it doesn\u2019t have to compete with other insects, like bees or butterflies!<\/div>\n
