ANOTHER White-Lined Sphinx Hummingbird Hawk-Moth! by Ruby 2417 Via Flickr: Hovering over the flowers with an actual hummingbird! Seriously, is this an irruption year for hawk-moths or something? I've gone decades without seeing a single one, and this is the third I've seen this summer! UC Davis Arboretum, Davis, Ca. August, 2023.

Tried to submit these but not sure if they went through so here they are again

Found this friend on our butterfly bush back in august :3

I think they’re a Bee Hawk-Moth but pls correct me if i’m wrong!

It sure is a bee hawk-moth! I looove the diurnal hawk-moths. Really excellent friends. Thank you for sharing this one! As always, submissions don’t count towards the one (1) nice bug per day.

We have a funky moth spreading its wings. It's called poppelikiitäjä or poplar hawk-moth (Laotheo populi). First image was taken yesterday at 11 PM before the wings were open. Two others were taken today at 9 AM and 11:30 AM.

A hawk-moth hovering in one place as it feeds, its wings to fast for my camera so I cannot give the exact species but it is from the Hyles genus.
