Hummingbird hawk-moth on lavender flowers

20160716125436.jpg

A few monthes ago, I went to see my brother in south of France near Grenoble city. We went to a place with a lot of lavender plants. I saw here a lot of insects flying very quickly and all around the plants.

I took those pictures but it was very difficult to do it and to have something approximately good due to the moving rapidity of the insect !

This animal is the Hummingbird hawk moth and is part of the mothes species. The beating of their narrow wings is very fast, up to 85 beats per second!
