Maddy Prichard, HR Officer, was "delighted to see a hummingbird hawk moth in my garden this year! I've never seen one up close, and I was totally fascinated by it." The hummingbird hawk-moth has greyish-brown forewings, bright orange hindwings, and a greyish body with a broad, black-and-white 'tail'. Its hovering flight is a distinguishing feature; it flutters its wings so quickly that it can appear orange and makes an audible hum. | Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust

PEEPER on Instagram: "The hawk moth caterpillar has an extraordinary defense tactic. When it feels threatened, it can curl its body and puff up its head to resemble a snake. This mimicry helps it scare off predators, as many animals instinctively avoid snakes due to the potential danger they pose. It’s an impressive survival strategy that works remarkably well. Found mostly in North America, particularly in southern regions, these caterpillars thrive in areas like gardens, farms, and woodlands.
