Hummingbird Hawkmoth Drinking Nectar

This evening the sun peeped out and at least 6 of these moths were very busy drinking the nectar in the garden. Maybe some of you remember how wet and miserable they looked 3 days ago. I love watching them, when I first saw them, I honestly though they were hummingbirds. No, hummingbirds do not live in Switzerland!
