This moth likes to visit our Butterfly bush and I was about to leave for a ride with the gopro so I got some video of it.

Pretty neat little thing.

cool critter!

I saw a plump Mr Toad emerge out from under my ground-level deck the other day

I think he is getting plump on the billion mosquitos hatching down there
This is an insult to the Pez community

We had a couple around this summer.

They even sound like a humming bird.

You can get surprisingly close before they slowly move on to another flower. Maybe one or two inches with your hand.

Saw my first in France around seven years ago, they are now in the UK, must be global warming or something.
