that vibration means its actually preparing for flight. moths like this cannot actually take flight until their wings reach a certain temperature so they have to run this sort of pre-flight warm up before they can go.
They really do look like hummingbirds when they fly! I seen to have one that has stayed a few days on my back porch. It sleeps during the day and is active at night. Enjoyed this very much. A friend sent this to me on Facebook.
Thanks for the video of you holding it. I think it’s nice for people to see that they are so gentle and harmless that you can let them take a rest on your hand if they want to. And you were very gentle with him. Nice demonstration. 🌸
The moth was probably cold. That s why you were able to handle it. However it seemed like it wanted to leave. Trying to warm itself up by fluttering its wings.
Its a sphinx moth. And when I first saw these flying near the garden, I thought they were hummingbirds. Why were there so many humming birds?? I thought xD.
I just came to know that moths are nocturnal and they shivers to maintain the temperature of their bodies since nights are cool in the absence of Sun. Butterflies on the other hand are active during day so she have to just span her wings completely in the Sun. Both are four winged insects. But this moth looks very cute due to his outer scales. Thanks for the upload.
@@kimbee53meierjie83 The same can be said about owls that they are nocturnal but some of their kinds are active during day since they have no competition with raptors in their habitat. I think this may be the case for this moth.
what a beauty, noticed it in the last 2 years in Romania - Bucharest, in the autumn. Last time (2 time all) I saw one was 1 month ago in a outside shop that sold flowers :)
Please change the video title, this is not a macroglossinae, this is Hyles lineata and its english name is white lined sphinx. Just look on google, this is not a macroglossum at all.
By the way thats not a hummingbird moth, yes they do hover like humming birds while they drink from flowers but most large nocturnal moths do that anyway. That moth is actually a whitelined sphinx moth. look it up!
White-lined sphinx moths are a species of hawk moth, which is colloquially referred to as the humming-bird moth. There's no need to get autistic about the video title, it's fine as is.
I found one yesterday hanging out by my front door and it was lethargic. I built a box for it and warmed it up & I guess it thawed out enough that it wanted to leave. It is 38f outside. Should I just let it go? It's 45f but feels 38f. I had him outside with the lid off all day and he didn't leave. he was slow and cold but now an hour later he is ready to leave again. Should I just let him go out into the cold and die on his own tonight?
I was walking down the street and saw something flying by flowers. I thought it was a normal hummingbird until I saw the long mouth thing bend, and I realized it was a moth. I hate moths but it was actually kinda cute.
Moths are pollinators and they mean a lot for the natural environment. A lot of moths are so colorful people think they are butterflies. They are not all dull and boring like most people think, like Madagascan sunset moths or Green banded Urania. They are beautiful tropical moths
My husband found one in our garden, so cool. I never saw one before, it looked as big as a hummingbird. We were able to get a little video of it. It totally made our day. Just a reminder that we are all so lucky to live here with so many amazing earthlings.🩵🌸🙏
Sorry but it is and it does have a very long proboscis that is kept rolled up like most nectar feeding moths. www.birderslounge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/20080405-DSC_0367.jpg
please fix the title, this moth is H. lineata, NOT M. stellatarum. Google it if you don't believe me. You're misleading a lot of people with wrong information.
What? They don't have fangs and can't bite and kill people. The White Lined Sphinx does have a proboscis, it's curled up in the video. If they showed it from the front you would see the proboscis.
@@kimbee53meierjie83exactly! People are spreading the same lie about the world's biggest Atlas Moth, saying they bite and kill people within minutes. They don't even have a mouth. 😑
They suck the blood of flowers all around you! I've honestly rarely ever seen these moths around where I live. They have no defenses other then flying away from stuff.
I love how the dark reflection of their compound eyes makes it look like it is always staring at you.

Cool information! Thanks!...I love the eyes, they look more like fish eyes in that they have a pupil>? Very interesting!!:)
Oh thank you! One of my butterflys does this and i think its a moth now
I always thought they just liked to run fast. Now i know it's because they're trying to fly. Doesn't make it any less funny, I love moths
Boeing moth 😂
@@greg77389 warms up like a Boeing and then he gets going 😂
It looks so soft...I want to pet it a little bit lol
Sadly if you pet a moth their little furs and scales fall off
Yo también quiero acariciarlo se ve bien peludito y suavecito
Most ppl are scared of moths but they are so cute...
I'm dead Don't sub ikr
when you are in your room trying to shoo it out and it starts flying at cha it don't seem that CUTE
It's involuntary, I didn't chose to fear them, I want to go to the psychiatrist to lose my fear to insects.
I love moths they are the cutest thing ever that existed
ikr
Whatever it is it's freaking adorable!
It's a moth, you genius....... literally says it in the video title. DUHHHHHH
i used to catch tons of these guys when i used to live in Palm Springs. absolutely gorgeous little angels, so chubby and lovable :3
They really do look like hummingbirds when they fly! I seen to have one that has stayed a few days on my back porch. It sleeps during the day and is active at night. Enjoyed this very much. A friend sent this to me on Facebook.
They are also super intelligent.
Que hermoso y tierno está 😍💜

Son hermosos 😍
This is White-lined Sphinx (Hyles lineata) we have them here in Phoenix ,Arizona
Aaawww he’s so cute❤️
It is so cute i want to pet it,i want it to be my pet so much.

@@greg77389 😭😔💔

He likes hands , it’s very friendly
So cute and such beautiful wings! 😍
Is so pretty and fuzzy
Its a sphinx moth. And when I first saw these flying near the garden, I thought they were hummingbirds. Why were there so many humming birds?? I thought xD.
definitely a hawkmoth but certainly no Macroglossum (Probably one from the hippotion genus)
It looks fluffy on his back

But hawkmoths are active at day

Umm your half wrong some moths can fly in the day and some butterflies can fly in the night!!!!!!
@@tushar699 and you just said butterflies you did not mention about moths!
@@kimbee53meierjie83 I am not an entomologist.
This is a blessed creature
Neat! The face looks like a creature rather than an insect. Thanks!
Oh wow thats amazing you got one and so calm
Wow ganda
Full support ❤❤❤
0:04 that would camouflage perfect on a tree !
very beautiful boy!
i caught one with a hurt wing, i named him jack, he's on my arm rn. :)
Prove it
The first time I saw one in my house I was freaked out and thought it is a bee lol
what a beauty, noticed it in the last 2 years in Romania - Bucharest, in the autumn. Last time (2 time all) I saw one was 1 month ago in a outside shop that sold flowers :)
I've caught quite a few of these, these are hawk moths or catawba worm moths. Amazing creatures.
It's fluffy
Please change the video title, this is not a macroglossinae, this is Hyles lineata and its english name is white lined sphinx.
Just look on google, this is not a macroglossum at all.
shut up.
+wardahza Damn. Somebody sure is having a bad day. Talk about rude.

U are very lucky to have caught that
I have one similar in my country striped hawk moth- hyles livornica
good~!
👍👍
I scared of butterfly and moths and other insects but I am not scared of big snake and other big animal.
Change the video title. You are misleading many ppl with it.
Hummingbird hawk moths has a little fan tail at the rear just like an actual hummingbird.
That‘s not a moth it‘s clearly a Pokémon
Like Dustox or Venomoth?
They are called hummingbird moths because they drink nectar.
Hawkmoth.
Where do you find them
He is my friend
Is this Richard?
Hawk moth
Wat happened to his straw?????
It's a vine hawkmoth (hippotion celerio)
Sorry misidentification it's a white-lined sphinx moth (hyles lineata)
Ones around here are the color of bees.
They're cute and fat 😍
That's just .... WOW!... I'm lost for words. - How long did it take to, ....ah, say nothing, lovely vid, massive cam work, 10*'s.

It's also known as hummingbird hawk moth.
Everybody knows that
Those eyes look *human*
How bout it's caterpillars
Sphinx Moth tho 🤦🏻♂️
I don't think that's a "Hummingbird Moth" . . .
that looks creepy , I would not carry that !
they are pretty much harmless.
Orphaner Dualscar doesn't mean they're not creepy
They're cute.
Where the proboscis? Doesn’t look like hummingbird moth
White lined sphinx moth, proboscis curled up.
That's not a humming bird moth
Moth scared to dead f
That is NOT a hummingbird moth. It would have a 3" to 3 1/2" tongue / nectar collector.
Sorry but it is and it does have a very long proboscis that is kept rolled up like most nectar feeding moths.

Altair just because you came back one YEAR later i fixed the title to remove the species name. I can't copy the name you gave me on mobile.
Where is the curled up straw it dont look like a humming bird moth, this is the moth that has huge fangs and if you get bit you have 1 minute to live
😁
They don't even have teeth😡

Læmp
It’s a White lined Sphinx. Do your research before just guessing a species you find.
That’s not a hummingbird moth
Thats not a hummingbird moth
Moth so what
I agree it’s not
This is not a hummingbird moth
That is not a hummingbird moth
Do they bite? Sting?? Attack? Drink your blood???
No. They live of nectar that they suck out of flowers.
Rubashow then why do then fly so close to us humans sometimes???
They suck the blood of flowers all around you! I've honestly rarely ever seen these moths around where I live. They have no defenses other then flying away from stuff.
+Rubashow and also they pollanate
Ewww that is terrifying
this is not
I've killed hundreds of them as hornworms on my tomato and pepper plants. Destructive little buggers.
