The hummingbird hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) flies from flower to flower, flapping its wings at a rate of about 70 to 90 beats per second. This high frequency enables its characteristic hovering flight, during which it can hover motionless in front of a flower—much like a hummingbird—while sipping nectar with its proboscis, which can be up to 3 cm long.#myphoto
