The hummingbird hawk-moth is a butterfly with a thick body that is often seen during the day on fine days, hovering like a hummingbird (hence its other common name of hummingbird hawk-moth) to sip nectar from flowers using its long proboscis 1/800 sec f/11 ISO 800 Nikon DSLR with 100 mma macro-lens.
