Some sort of butterfly thingy!

I don't know if this is a butterfly or something similar but I was intrigued with its "proboscis" (gosh I sound so scientific!!) which was darting in and out of the flower pollen. For those that need a lesson in what is a proboscis, you can either call my husband or check this Wiki link out:

wonderful focus! i'm wondering if it's a hummingbird moth, which we often see when we're in france?

[Sheralee S]
