It’s also called the bumblebee moth, the hummingbird moth, or (my favourite) the flying lobster.

About

Retired software engineer, interaction designer, and UX exec in the #VFX software field. Original Maya team member. 🏳️‍🌈 I write about a lot of things, including VFX, and how managers can build healthy teams. But since retiring I'm more likely to post about drawing, baking, biking, rock climbing, photography, animation, #doctorWho, and whatever SF/fantasy or science books I happen to be reading at the moment.
