Humming Bird . . . or not?

Handcrafted by on August 6, 2009 3 Comments

humming bird moth koh changWhat do you see in this 9 second video?

At first it appears to be a Hummingbird.  However, Hummingbirds don’t live in Thailand and as much as I’d like to discover a new species of Koh Chang Hummingbird, that isn’t going to happen.

The bird, is in fact a moth – a Hummingbird Hawk Moth. ( Click for photo from Wikipedia )  This is just Mother Nature’s way of messing with your mind.

    Hi Ian
    This explains a mystery of our garden in Bangkok I have seen this humming bird many times to be told they do not live in Bangkok by various friends who obviously know of my penchant for a glass of the red stuff. I will now go boldly where I have been unable to tread before and educate these unfortunate morons as to the Fuana and Flora of our beautiful country.
