somehow, birds and bugs seem like a natural fit together for a naturalist. The obvious bugs would be butterflies, but I always enjoy seeing Hummingbird Moths. These are smaller day-time moths who feed on nectar more like butterflies than one would expect for a moth. Today, while I sat out after the rain, I found one coming to a pot of Pansies sitting on my steps with me.
As you might tell from the blurred wings, these moths hover much like Hummingbirds as the feed, hence their name.
