demon bird-bug！！

Lindsey and I came across this fantastic specimen in Xiao Lao Xi.. we had no idea what it was. Looked like a hummingbird, hovered like a hummingbird, but had wings and a body like a giant moth and a long needle-like proboscis.
After some research, I found out this thing was in fact a moth! It is called the hummingbird hawk-moth or sometimes the hummingmoth. Pretty badass, huh?

HD available! It might take longer to load but you probably won't be able to even tell what it is if you watch the low quality version. Click the gear icon that pops up on the bottom right after you hit play to switch to HD :)

Warning: video has brief profanity. 





Here is the pic Lindsey took!


and some more from google images, cause I seriously can't get over how cool this guy looks:
