Two Hummingbird Moths, Butterfly and Bee Video

Finally got a quick 48 second video in Dustin's garden of two hummingbird moths, a butterfly and a bee. So cool to see these insects. Many never see these hummer moths, as they are very rare. But to see two is even more special. They move so quickly from bloom to bloom, I slowed down the video speed a little so you can see the detail hopefully. Looks like you have to adjust the speed of the video each time you view it. If you go into settings, you can change it. If not, turn the volume up and enjoy! Everyone having a good day on this first day of August?

The first time I saw a hummingbird moth was when we lived in Vegas. I thought it was a hummingbird but it let me get really close and I saw it looked like a moth.

@CarolDM they really are interesting. I never heard of one until I saw the one in Vegas. Nature can really be amazing.

That was a great video. We haven't seen one of those moths in a long time. You should take a video of Dustin's garden and show us the rest of your yard too! August is OK...too close to winter though!

They are beautiful. I love stalking butterflies, moths and birds in my tropical garden in the Philippines. I have some videos about them in my youtube channel.
