Hi Bugman,
I photographed this bug on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem in November this year. At first we thought it was a hummingbird but upon looking at the photo, I think it is some kind of moth. Can you identify it?

Dear Steve,
This diurnal Hawkmoth appears to be Macroglossum stellatarum based on this image on Israel’s Nature Site and the one on TrekNature.
