Blast from the past - Hummingbird Hawk-Moth

14/10/2006, and we had a very unusual visitor to the garden! On this cold autumn day, a Hummingbird Hawk-Moth suddenly appeared from the wide blue sky! I was not there to see this fabled creature but Melanie was on hand with the video camera and captured this remarkable footage! What a strange and wonderful creature it is. Does this say something about so-called climate change, to see a Hummingbird Hawk-Moth this far north...in South Yorkshire! WOW!!!!
