Humming bird hawk moth

There were once rare in the UK when they migrated from southern Europe. 

They appear to be more common in the UK, possibly as a result of climate change. 

The wings beat very fast (about 75 beats a second!), so they can hover like a humming bird.  At one time people thought they were birds!

There was one in the garden yesterday.

Snapseed experiments

 

I have been experimenting with Snapseed (an app) frames. This photo is of a hummingbird hawk moth that  migrates from Southern Europe to the UK. They are now more common possibly due to climate change? The wings beat at about 75 beats a second so they can hover.
