Can you help me find the hummingbird sphinx that appears in these photographs taken on the edge of the town of Altet, in the Urgell region?
This is the new visual challenge that I propose to you today in The Readers' Challenge of La Vanguardia. The rules of the game are clear, you simply have to find this moth in these three images that you can see below.
How has it been for you? Have you been able to find the butterfly? Not yet? Maybe it will help you to see what it looks like. I'm going to give you a clue and show you in detail the hummingbird sphinx moth.
It is a very common lepidoptera, which prefers flowery meadows and scrub areas during flowering. The body and forewings are gray. The hind wings have a bright orange color that contrasts with the other tones of the body. The tail is hairy with black and white spots. However, these vivid colors are not seen when at rest, as in these detailed snapshots.
Has the clue I have given you helped you? Have you managed to find the hummingbird sphinx that appears in the photos? No? Well, I'm going to show you the images again, but this time with the solution to the Challenge.
