A rare Humming-bird hawk-moth was spotted by David Hollands
at the Geshaview village in Bulgaria.
This large fast-flying moth (Latin name: Macroglossum stellatarum) can be seen hovering like a humming-bird over a variety of garden flowers while drinking the nectar.
The striking humming-bird hawk-moth is a native of North Africa and uses a long feeding tube for sucking nectar out of the flowers.
They have a wingspan of around two inches and their wings beat so fast an audible hum can clearly be heard.
David made this recording on the 30 August 2011 and has registered this sighting on the www.butterfly-conservation.org website as the first sighting of a Humming-bird hawk-moth to be made in Bulgaria.
