The Bee Of The Bird Of The Moth

It's not often you see a song come to life. There's a song by They Might Be Giants called "The Bee of the Bird of the Moth" that mentions something called a "hummingbird moth." I never really thought much about it, just that the song is goofy and silly like most TMBG stuff.

Then, lo and behold, we were at my parents' house and before our very eyes appeared something we couldn't identify. It looked like a hummingbird, but after looking at it for a minute, we noticed it had 6 legs and it was poking each flower like a butterfly...

After a quick search we found it was in fact a hummingbird moth! Well, what do you know....
