Hummingbird Hawk Moth.jpg - This Humming-bird Hawk Moth was taken near Dunderrow in Co. Cork in Ireland. It was the first time I had seen such a moth and luckily he came back to the same Valerian plant very early each morning for 3 days. He lived up to his name by hovering like a Hummingbird.They were reported all over Waterford in the past few years but fewer sightings in Cork. Some hibernate during the winter but the majority fly in from Mediterranean countries between May and September.
