Macroglossum trochilius
Beautiful :) another mission suggestion: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7740...
Hi Mari, Brilliant shot! They are really difficult to photograph.
Macroglossum stelleratum is a European species (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macroglossu...) as the distribution map shows in the article. I'm of the opinion that this is in fact the African hummingbird moth (Macroglossum trochilus)
