I just love how the hummingbird is flying, the hoovering is so cool! :)
I agree. I am totally captivated by them. I just spent 2 hours sitting silently in a chair waiting but only one short sighting today. Gone before I even got my camera ready.

Don’t want to call it a death’s-head? In Dutch, they’re called Doodshoofdvlinder; in French, le sphinx à tête de mort; in German, Totenkopfschwärmer; in Spanish, cabeza de muerto; and in Swedish, Dödskallesvärmare.

A. atropos is the fastest moth in the world; it can fly at speeds up to 30mph! The insects can also hover like hummingbirds as they drink nectar from flowers.

Went to opening night at the US OPEN Tennis tournament. The site of the 1964 World’s Fair, which my father brought me to. I snapped this picture while sneaking a cigarette in the stairway. You might recognize the objects on the right. :^)

Yes but do they really fly? HAHAHAHAHA

Here we call “Picaflor” to this bird. This year on of them got into my covered back garden of my house. I’ve help it to get out and release, here a picture :)

PS: You can see the long of tongue

Rather than post another hummingbird video (there is a link above) I decided to post a timelapse video of the moonflowers in my yard that bloom at sundown every day. Took my old iPad and stacked a few milk crates for a stand. Voila!

@mykle1 very cool!

Three years after the initial post. Here they are:

I really enjoy reading such stories. Currently, I’m working for a healthcare software development company and all the health tech news is interesting for me.
-
I am glad you find it interesting. I look forward to seeing the hummingbirds in my yard every summer. :-)

@Mykle1 I thought the 1962 world’s fair was in Seattle.

Says 1964 :-)

@Mykle1 Yeah, I got the edit report, too. 🤣🤣

You’ve been promoted to head investigator. Thank you for your contribution. :clap:

@Mykle1:face_savouring_delicious_food: Hi, I am also working on a gadgets images blog for my client. just like pellet smokers. The client is asking to redesign product images and add a transparent look to each product. Which is the best version to edit images in a transparent way?

I do not know. Perhaps someone with experience with image editing will chime in here.
