it’s just a hummingbird moth Who’s acting like a bird that thinks it’s a bee
Now the moth defeats the mouse and man, it’s messing with the plan, it can’t be believed.
Sadly they ravage tomatoes and other nightshade while theyre caterpillars so people often kill them with impugnity. Probably contributes to why theyre not commonly seen.
First time I saw one of these in my garden I thought I was trippin
That’s a Pokémon.
I would love to see a diagram of how its morphology changed through time and evolution, I bet it’s wild
Sometimes a cutie is just a cutie, defying classification
Like those damned jumping spiders. They freak me out, but I can’t deny they’re cute as hell.
When they look at me with those big mirror eyes, I say “just take my house it’s yours now”
If these are fairies, then are mantis shrimp like some Lovecraftian monstrosity from the arthropod Unseelie Court?
I’m guessing, it’s this species: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemaris_thysbe
(Apparently, this species is also referred to as “hummingbird moth”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummingbird_hawk-moth )
