I just saw one of these yesterday at the zoo I work at, and it blew my mind. Never even HEARD of hummingbird moths in my 28 years. Excellent video. Thanks a lot!
I live in Australia and when I saw this hummingbird moth in Northern Italy, I was stunned of its beauty. I will treasure the memory always. Loved your video. Brought back beautiful memories. Thanks😊
I have a few of these that visit my flower garden during dusk and dawn each day...just saw it a few minutes ago at 8:40pm, I normally catch them around 6am.
I discover this bird from a russian titled video that has the bittern raise its neck up real tall and look directly at the viewer. And honestly, I ask please excuse my harsh and crude choice of words but this bird is freaking weird.
The music on this is dreadfully loud and inappropriate. Hopefully you don't do that anymore. Interesting subject I hadn't heard of them before and came looking via ms Google. Couldn't watch continue and all your video due to the music sadly
thank you man, i love you for being so engrossed in nature that you want to capture something so small as snow fleas to show the world. Thank you so much, wishing you the best!!
Is it possible to see one in the dark/early evening in October? I was just on my patio, and it looked exactly like a tiny hummingbird eating from my flowers. That's how I found this video...trying to find out what looks like hummers. I am so excited by what I saw. I know it can't be a hummer, cuz mine all left a week ago. I almost got a pic...so wish I would've captured whatever this was.
I'm looking at them in my garden right now in the UK. This convergent evolution can't be mimicry as we don't have Humming Birds in Europe. I think their form of adaptation is just coincidental with humming birds because they have the same life style so this is the best design. Amazing creatures. I was really shocked when I first saw one as I thought it was an actual humming bird. I guess they'll be gone by next week when the weather turns cold 😢. Until next year...
This is known as Steve Irwinism, a syndrome where common sense is absent. Too many die. NEVER ever assume these massive predators won't attack. You CAN'T predict what they'll do.
I now have solved what the mystery moth was that I saw two years ago...thank you! I've never seen anything like it before. I didn't get a photo of it, but I tried to look it up by description and found nothing. It had bumped into my kitchen window a few times, and then landed in the window well, and there it sat for a bit while I looked at it in awe and wonder. Then it flew off never to be seen again. Very interesting species of moth! :)
Lepidoptera entered the game around 130 million years before modern birds evolved. Makes a guy wonder .. Who really mimics who? And is it truly natural selection alone that aids in dictating how closely one species may resemble that of another - both of which may be of an entirely different phylums?? Tough egg for little ole anybody to crack
Saw one yesterday in Oakland California. Beautiful lil guy I couldn't figure out what it was. Then my cat saw I was interested in something and these moths attract cats like nobody biz .
Never having used a trail cam ru-vid.comUgkx2sTDdZXomuxedMg_HothfjSXjR3rpPkA before, I was very impressed with the quality of the images and videos. The sensitivity of the camera can be adjusted as well as the length of video recordings. Once I found the sweet spot, I was getting great clips of deer and other animals almost every day. I was worried about battery life but have been running off the same 4 aa batteries for over a month. The SD card is easy to remove and connect to a computer. I have a Mac, and the AVI files open natively in QuickTime and are easy to save and share. This is a great, budget-friendly trail cam.
Right now, we have a lot of these moths buzzing around at dusk. pretty neat to watch them. Bad part is they are destroying my tomatoes and pepper plants. I collect the caterpillars and raise them in a container, so they go through the life cycle and not destroy my plants.
Nature does things for lots of reasons at once no doubt, but I'm gonna go against the presenter and say, this is about convergent evolution not mimicry. For one thing, you do have hummingbird moth species all over Europe and Asia, where you haven't had hummingbirds in thousands of years (and, when you did, they were BIG). For another I'd guess that 90% of the things that will target and eat hummingbirds, will eat hummingbird moths, so looking like a hummingbird isn't protecting them.
they look very different to me. ones a moth, the others a bird. The "moth" at 1:36 is a butterfly and the raspberry bush its sitting on is a blackberry. thats the point i turned it off.
So glad i found your channel your a good man with a very big heart for wildlife the world needs more people like you for the sake of humanity and our animal friendd
