Hummingbirds of the world of butterflies! :) (series)

Roisterer (Latin Sphingidae.) - A family of Lepidoptera order of insects.
Those who first met this amazing insect, often confuse it with a miniature bird hummingbird, actually this is a common butterfly of the family hawk moths. But in their appearance and habits really have something akin.

The family of hawk moths or Sphinx (Sphingidae), is widely known among nature lovers. Revelers are considered the best flyers among the butterflies - they are capable of independently to travel thousands of miles. All their smooth streamlined body adapted for rapid flight. Maybe that's why their outlines resemble reminiscent of jet planes?

Although traditionally referred to as hawk moths moths, and they can fly to the light, they can often be seen during the day. They suck nectar on the fly, hovering in front of a flower like little helicopters.

Roisterer, like hummingbirds, does not sit down on a flower, and above it hangs in the air, and very quickly waving his narrow wings. Therefore, out of ignorance, hawk moth confused with hummingbird or mistaken for being an unreal creature.
Roisterer reach speeds up to 50 km / h (the best flyers among Lepidoptera).
Roisterer - the fastest pollinators of some flowers (thanks to high speed flight and a long proboscis , they pollinate up to 100 flowers for three minutes).

The man who appreciates the beauty of nature and the world is much richer and happier than those who do not notice this.
