Hummingbird Hawk Moth
"Essjay001" pushed briefly to the front of the
queue on Mon, 23 Jun 2003 04:30:14 +0000 (UTC), and nailed this to the shed door: ^ OK so there I was sitting by the pond feeding the fish when this beast came ^ along and hovered in front of me. Having never seen one before I was ^ somewhat apprehensive. (Strange things with stings worry me). First off I ^ thought it looked like a very fat damsel fly, but in the time I had to look ^ at it (not very long) I noticed its abdomen was about the size of a 13 amp ^ fuse, tan in colour and furry. Very rapid wing movements. Not much to go on ^ I know but all I was thinking was 'if that thing has a sting I could get ^ hurt' any ideas? A hornet?
