            @ARNC hahaha, anyone who denies evolution just sounds silly after viewing that magnificent insect.

            I was thinking about this sub the other day, as moths are starting to enter our wooded home again. I call it the "buggening," and it starts now.

                      The picture is unfortunately only a zoomed in still of a short video I filmed with my phone at my parent's house. At first I got really excited because I was under the impression there is a humming bird in my parent's garden, which is highly unlikely.

                      I did some research and found out that it is a hummingbird hawk-moth - such an incredible creature! It was floating while drinking from a blossom.

                      The second picture is taken from wikipedia.

                                @RobeOfTheMagi wow what a beautiful photo of the hawk moth. My mom planted a butterfly bush in the front yard when I was a kid. I would often see them on it. So cool!

                                edit: My mother in law brought a clipping from her butterfly bush to my house last spring and it is growing strong. I bought a second one at a plant sale the other weekend, so hopefully in a couple of years, I will see some hawk moths again.

                                      This Huntsman spider was living in the gap around the hinges in my car's door.

                                      And this is a Golden Orb Spider, which I saw last weekend. She was quite big.

                                          @cityofdelusion the irony is that those big and scary spiders aren't dangerous. In fact, a Huntsman will eat the more problematic ones.
