An elephant hawkmoth warming up it's wings. May we forever have moths like this in the world 🦋💖
Edit: for those wondering - yes, this is very definitely A Moth. (Not a butterfly, bee, hummingbird, any other bird, or an extremely smol plane... Though they do sound a bit like tiiiiny planes when they vibrate their wings.) There's more on the elephant hawkmoth here, here, and here. If you love it and you have a garden then don't overdo the weeding, bc it eats rosebay willowherb (UK)/fireweed (US).
From the noctuidae family. They have a wingspan of about 30 mm. They tend to inhabit fields, clearings and wastelands. They can be found throughout most of North America.
Not feeling great today & hoping I don't have the serious germs, but here's an elephant hawkmoth to improve things. Because hawkmoths always improve my day. 💖🦋

The cutest cute and sweetest sweet. I even made Pixieyuki’s outfit match. The moth will have some sort of magic yes, but the pixies mainly domesticated them to keep as pets <3
