First time when I saw one was a couple years ago and then my reaction was “that’s impossible! hummingbirds don’t live here… and this is an insect, not a bird!” Now having the opportunity to take some pictures, I documented a bit: yes, is an insect looking like a hummingbird and is obviously called the Hummingbird Hawk-moth or, if you prefer Latin, Macroglossum stellatarum.

I woke-up early in the morning, climbed the hill and waited the sun to rise only to meet a big setback: the sky was completely clear, therefore the sunrise image boring: only a disc of fire behind a distant black wall (another hill).
