Kitty Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 No photos available, I'm afraid. But this week, I was sitting on a veranda with friends (in France) and a moth-like creature, starting sucking pollen out of a potted floral plant with a 1" long slender 'hose'. It flitted from flower to flower, often losing the some of droplets of pollen in the air.What is it?What does it do with the pollen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderhorse Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 We get dozens of them - hummingbird hawk moth. Beautiful and harmless (a bit like me...) [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris pp Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Or it could be one of these, a bit difficult to photograph, sorry.[IMG]http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q73/unautremonde/Oddments/Moth1.jpg[/IMG]Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedon Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 If it had only paused for a while I might have been able to take better pictures. Nice Proboscis though![IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a372/weedonwite/HawkMoth8.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a372/weedonwite/HawkMoth5.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a372/weedonwite/HawkMoth11.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a372/weedonwite/HawkMoth10.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
