Fruczak gołąbek

Fruczak gołąbek (Macroglossum stellatarum) - motyl z rodziny zawisakowatych (Sphingidae). Ćma ta lata w ciągu dnia.
Rozpiętość skrzydeł tego motyla wynosi ok. 5-7 cm. Zachowaniem przypomina kolibra, bo spija nektar z kielicha kwiatów za pomocą ssawki, unosząc się w powietrzu. Sylwetka ćmy jest krępa, lecz niewielkich rozmiarów. Jej skrzydła są szarobrązowe, pokryte czarnymi liniami, tylne zaś są pomarańczowe. Gąsienica jest zielona lub brązowa, zakończona niebieskim rogiem; żeruje na kwiatach przytulii.
Występowanie: Europa Środkowa i południowa, Afryka Północna, część Azji, występuje również w południowej Skandynawii.

The Hummingbird Hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) is a species of hawk moth with a long proboscis, and regularly hovers, making an audible humming noise. These two features make it look remarkably like a hummingbird when it feeds on flowers; it is theorised that this is a result of convergent evolution. It flies during the day, especially in bright sunshine, but also at dusk, dawn, and even in the rain, which is unusual for even diurnal hawkmoths. Its visual abilities have been much studied, and it has been shown to have a relatively good ability to learn colours.
The Hummingbird Hawk-moth is distributed throughout the northern Old World from Portugal to Japan, but is resident only in warmer climates (southern Europe, North Africa, and points east). It is strongly migratory and can be found virtually anywhere in the hemisphere in the summer. However it rarely survives the winter in northern latitudes (e.g. north of the Alps in Europe, north of the Caucasus in Russia).
Moths in the Hemaris genus of the family Sphingidae are known as "hummingbird moths" in the US, and "bee moths" in Europe, which sometimes causes confusion between this species and the North American genus.

Macroglossum Stellatarum

European Oak

The village of Marklowice near Jastrzębie Zdrój built a playground with European Union grant. The playground seems to be Eden to little kids and the older ones. Besides typical recreational facilities, trees and shrubs were planted and each of them labeled with their names. An oak tree was planted to commemorate the friendship between Polish Marklowice and Czech Stonava. Flowers attract various insects. We were able to spot a Macroglossum Stellatarum. For a moment we believed that we were observing a hummingbird. Unfortunately there are no hummingbirds in Poland.
