    Found this moth with its tongue stuck inside a flower. We removed the petals from the flower and allowed the moth to go free. Posted 6 years ago

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.
