Is it a baby hummingbird? A cute, fuzzy bug? A flying miniature lobster? SCROLL DOWN FOR THE ANSWER o_O
ANSWER: At first glance this cute and busy little critter looks like a baby hummingbird. Look at how he moves! But after further investigation I discovered this bird is a bug impostor! See the antennae and proboscis? He (or she) is a Hummingbird Clearwing Moth (Hemaris Thysbe). Yup, a diurnal moth. Cheeky little bugger!!! And much cuter than a mosquito!

Esinfge colibri in spanish. it’s an insect.
As an ectomologist I can safely say that this is a Hawk Moth a species of moth in Sphingidae.
that’s a t-rex guys trust me, just match their fossils together
That’s what I thought.
of course it’s a bug… it has 6 legs. isn’t that the recuirements for somthing being an insect? (spiders are not insects, 8 legs)
Given the antennae on its head…its an insect
It’s a hummingbird moth. I’ve seen one a few times. It’s rare to see one where I live in New Jersey. awesome creature.
I think it’s a Racoon. -Joe Carter
