Just discovered this is the bird nesting around my lake. It’s there everyday and I watch it fly into the trees when I’m down there feeding the bass.

I have some in my garden this year! First time I have ever seen one. Very cool. I live in Maryland.

Juat found your channel. Neat stuff! Hope youre doing well!

I've been watching the hummingbirds and hummingbird moths in our yard this morning. Beautiful creatures. One big difference is that hummingbirds eat a wide variety of insects, maybe their own body weight each day! I've seen hummingbirds with so much spiderweb on their beaks that they had to stop to remove it with their little feet...sometimes they just wipe it off on a branch.

Reading Isaiah 34:11 and decided to research the cormorant and bittern. Thank you for such an enlightening video, Mark. God bless!!

Wonderful videography and narration.

I wouldnt go in there

I just saw one of these yesterday at the zoo I work at, and it blew my mind. Never even HEARD of hummingbird moths in my 28 years. Excellent video. Thanks a lot!

i got chased by him and i ran away screaming because i thought he was a huge horse fly

god is the cause of them looking alike. he does that on purpose for your sake. not because some vague supposed mechanism of evillucian

I live in Australia and when I saw this hummingbird moth in Northern Italy, I was stunned of its beauty. I will treasure the memory always. Loved your video. Brought back beautiful memories. Thanks😊

I have a few of these that visit my flower garden during dusk and dawn each day...just saw it a few minutes ago at 8:40pm, I normally catch them around 6am.

Caught one in a basement today, central KY

I was watching a hummingbird moth on my lilac tree this afternoon.

The things have spread over acres of my property. Can't kill the stuff. Its a weed.

Thanks for the info!!

I believe it is rather convergent evolution, not mimicry.

Im here because of the rooroo dance.

One of my all time favorite videos. ♥️

I discover this bird from a russian titled video that has the bittern raise its neck up real tall and look directly at the viewer. And honestly, I ask please excuse my harsh and crude choice of words but this bird is freaking weird.

The music on this is dreadfully loud and inappropriate. Hopefully you don't do that anymore. Interesting subject I hadn't heard of them before and came looking via ms Google. Couldn't watch continue and all your video due to the music sadly

Nice!

thank you man, i love you for being so engrossed in nature that you want to capture something so small as snow fleas to show the world. Thank you so much, wishing you the best!!

0:48 what's a "minitster" animal? 😅😂

Im assuming the other sumac was smooth sumac

Is it possible to see one in the dark/early evening in October? I was just on my patio, and it looked exactly like a tiny hummingbird eating from my flowers. That's how I found this video...trying to find out what looks like hummers. I am so excited by what I saw. I know it can't be a hummer, cuz mine all left a week ago. I almost got a pic...so wish I would've captured whatever this was.

I'm looking at them in my garden right now in the UK. This convergent evolution can't be mimicry as we don't have Humming Birds in Europe. I think their form of adaptation is just coincidental with humming birds because they have the same life style so this is the best design. Amazing creatures. I was really shocked when I first saw one as I thought it was an actual humming bird. I guess they'll be gone by next week when the weather turns cold 😢. Until next year...

This is known as Steve Irwinism, a syndrome where common sense is absent. Too many die. NEVER ever assume these massive predators won't attack. You CAN'T predict what they'll do.

Evolution. Hahahahahahahaha. As if...

These little moths just past my walk Tonight... I do appreciate their part in Nature

I now have solved what the mystery moth was that I saw two years ago...thank you! I've never seen anything like it before. I didn't get a photo of it, but I tried to look it up by description and found nothing. It had bumped into my kitchen window a few times, and then landed in the window well, and there it sat for a bit while I looked at it in awe and wonder. Then it flew off never to be seen again. Very interesting species of moth! :)

❤

I'm a gardener in the UK.. thought I was trippin' first time I saw one, was so colourful too.. amazing moths..

Lepidoptera entered the game around 130 million years before modern birds evolved. Makes a guy wonder .. Who really mimics who? And is it truly natural selection alone that aids in dictating how closely one species may resemble that of another - both of which may be of an entirely different phylums?? Tough egg for little ole anybody to crack

Saw one yesterday in Oakland California. Beautiful lil guy I couldn't figure out what it was. Then my cat saw I was interested in something and these moths attract cats like nobody biz .

Never having used a trail cam ruclips.net/user/postUgkx2sTDdZXomuxedMg_HothfjSXjR3rpPkA before, I was very impressed with the quality of the images and videos. The sensitivity of the camera can be adjusted as well as the length of video recordings. Once I found the sweet spot, I was getting great clips of deer and other animals almost every day. I was worried about battery life but have been running off the same 4 aa batteries for over a month. The SD card is easy to remove and connect to a computer. I have a Mac, and the AVI files open natively in QuickTime and are easy to save and share. This is a great, budget-friendly trail cam.

you are an angel for wild ones. Bless you

Right now, we have a lot of these moths buzzing around at dusk. pretty neat to watch them. Bad part is they are destroying my tomatoes and pepper plants. I collect the caterpillars and raise them in a container, so they go through the life cycle and not destroy my plants.

Good post - there's a hummingbird moth favoring a lantana bush nearby and it's amazing to watch each evening.

73 years old and I only just saw my first on this evening on our front yard. Amazing.

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks!

Nature does things for lots of reasons at once no doubt, but I'm gonna go against the presenter and say, this is about convergent evolution not mimicry. For one thing, you do have hummingbird moth species all over Europe and Asia, where you haven't had hummingbirds in thousands of years (and, when you did, they were BIG). For another I'd guess that 90% of the things that will target and eat hummingbirds, will eat hummingbird moths, so looking like a hummingbird isn't protecting them.

nice moth

I had over a dozen hummingbird moth's on my butterfly bushes today.... Beautiful!

We don’t have real hummingbirds in the U.K., so this lovely moth is a real treasure 💕

What???? Those wings flap over 30 times in ONE SECOND!!! Whoa.......😳😳 Great video 😁👋

🎉💕12/7/23

yes saw one today in west Boston amazing never seen before had no idea what it was a big bummble or a baby hummer

they look very different to me. ones a moth, the others a bird. The "moth" at 1:36 is a butterfly and the raspberry bush its sitting on is a blackberry. thats the point i turned it off.
