The first time I saw this insect I was taken aback. It is quite large and to be honest I had never seen anything quite like it before. Since it looks a bit like a bee, I assumed it was one of those dangerous bees coming up from the south, probably due to global warming. I felt kind of foolish when I learned it is a hummingbird moth and not dangerous at all. By the way I got this photo off of our Unsplash site.
