Meaning: The hummingbird hawk moth has a pair of antennae, a beaked tube, two small eyes, a brown tail with a whitish tip, and a pair of colorful wings that shine in the sun. It flies very lightly, and although it looks like it has lost a little fat, this does not affect it from flying forward or backward in a hovering state. It is like a hummingbird, but it does not weave nests; It is like a bee, but without a stinger; It is like a moth, but it hates the night; It's like a butterfly, but softer. From mid-spring to late autumn, the hummingbird eagle moth has been looking for traces of flowers, and it needs to be busy in thousands of places in order to drink delicious nectar. And this busyness is more than 100 days, and it does not stop until the middle of winter. In order to overwinter, it hibernates in withered melon vines. It will not be forgotten, and it has been looking forward to next spring, when the flowers are warm, and it will still go to the bushes to taste the freshly brewed syrup.

Postscript: The hummingbird hawk moth is known as the "four unlikenesses" in the insect world: like hummingbirds, like butterflies, like bees, and like moths. Visible in spring and from August to October, it feeds on pigs and nectar, and is one of the few creatures that can both advance and backward while circling and flying. The vitality is tenacious and overwinters in the dried melon vines. Because it resembles a hummingbird, it is mistaken for a hummingbird by the majority of Chinese people, but in fact there are no hummingbirds in the wild in China.
