This Hummingbird hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) is somewhat of an outlier.  Most moths are active at night, have large wings and have navigational problems brought on by street lights; whereas these moths are active during the daytime are swift fliers and hover as they feed.

Very much like a hummingbird, their small wings beat very rapidly, requiring a lot of energy.  Just like the hummingbirds they are constantly moving from flower to flower for a sip of nectar.

Their proboscis is longer than their entire body!

Using a high shutter speed, I was able to capture the hawk-moth's wings in different positions as it flew, without a camera their wings are nearly invisible!

Down-stroke.

Up-stroke.  In the two previous shots the "tail" can be seen, just as in birds this is used to help control the hawk-moth's flight.

Turning, en route to another blossom.  The flexible proboscis is halfway curled, when resting the whole thing is coiled up under the head.

Last year I was very fortunate to spot one of these colourful moths as it came to rest for a night on the rose bush outside the window.  I doubt I would have spotted it otherwise!

Thanks @boddhisattva, catching it in flight is relatively easy as the two I saw that day never landed, the difficult part is getting the focus right before it flies off to another flower.  They're also very skittish and very fast so I needed to stake out the flowers and wait for the moth to come close enough.
