Hummingbird Hawkmoth - Macroglossom stellatarum The hummingbird hawk-moth is a small, day-flying hawk-moth. It is a summer visitor to the UK, migrating from Southern Europe in variable numbers each year. 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.
