    Hummingbird hawkmoth -- possibly Hemaris sp., Cephonodes hylas, or Macroglossum sp. Is this the same moth as seen here:

The Hummingbird hawk-moth

The hummingbird hawk-moth is a species of hawk moth found across temperate regions of Eurasia. The species is named for its similarity to hummingbirds, as they feed on the nectar of tube-shaped flowers using their long proboscis while hovering in the air; this resemblance is an example of convergent evolution.
