I spy with my little eye ....... this beautiful little creature . Do you know what it is ?
It's a Hummingbird Hawk Moth , my favourite moth of all !
When hovering at top speed , it's wings seem to disappear and it looks to me like a little mouse, see my first picture ...but most often it resembles the sweet Humming Birds seen in America .
Migrating from the South of France .
From now until the beginning of September we can see them hovering and taking nectar from flower to flower on our Cornish Hedges .
Hummingbird Hawk Moth on Centranthus rubra also known as Valerian rubra .
Sweetest little moth of all !
