Hummingbird hawkmothHummingbird hawkmoth
The summer of 2003 was a bumper one for hummingbird hawkmoths (Macroglossum stellatarum) in the UK. This migrant is normally a scarce visitor to our shores, but in common with many other moths and butterflies, the warm summer of 2003 led them to visit us in large numbers. They are diurnal (active during daylight) and their habit of hovering conspicuously in front of nectar rich plants meant that they were seen by many people.
