have you heard of hummingbird moths? they are real and its bs

iguanamouth:

YEAH i have and they are Gorgeous id love to see one in person

theres actually several species of day-moths that have the nickname of HUMMINGBIRD, and each of them are super cute

theres the hummingbird hawk moth, which can be found from portugal to japan in the summer , and has been seen fairly active in temperature up to 114 degrees F, which is pretty dang hot for bugs ( also everything in general)

the white lined sphinx moth, which can be found in north and central america, and has a wingspan of up to three inches

theres the snowberry clearwing moth, who is often mistaken for a bee – in fact a lot of what people in the us call hummingbird moths are instead called bee moths in europe

and the hummingbird clearwing , which is a lot like the one above but redder in coloration

and a few others !! all of them though are known for their taste in flower nectar and how active they are during daylight hours. also how they look like something a fairy would ride
