Me and my sisters saw this insect the other
day, and as you can see it looks like a mix
between a humming bird and a moth.
Does anybody know what it's called?
EDIT:
Apparently, it is called a hummingbird hawk
moth. You learn something new every day Tags :mothbutterflyhummingbirdkolibricolibriinsectquestionhummingbirdhawk
According to two UC scientists, not only can
the Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM) not be
'eradicated' by the forced aerial pesticide
spraying of the San Francisco Bay Area
planned for this summer by a state agency,
but it poses no real threat to agriculture in
the first place.
UC Davis Entomologist Dr. James Carey and UC
Santa Cruz Arboretum Executive Director Dr.
Daniel Harder present the results of their
research at the March 13, 2008 informational
hearing held in San Rafael by State Senator
Joe Simitian, Chair of the Senate
Environmental Quality Committee.
Dr. Harder's report on his recent trip to New
Zealand, where the LBAM is "...effectively
controlled almost exclusively by natural
predators in both agricultural settings and
wild lands," is available on-line at:
