I saw something that was similar to a bumblebee, but had a large body with the streamlined shape of a hummingbird. Mark got a picture of one just like it in the garden.
It is a Hawk Moth. The 'hummingbird moth' is also of the same family.
I used to catch those when i was young, haven't seen one in years. I think a lot of these things are going the way of the honey bee, too many pesticides.
