hHUMMINGBIRD HAWK MOTHh
A Hummingbird Hawk Moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) is seen feeding on a flower in Tottori, on the coast of the Sea of Japan, in western Japan.   These moths can be found throughout the northern 'Old World' from Portugal to Japan.  They occasionally appear on Canada's east coast, notably in Newfoundland.
