Macroglossum gyrans
Macroglossum gyrans, the dark-bordered hummingbird hawkmoth, is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1856 and is known from South-east Asia and Madagascar. The moth makes a deep humming note before flight by a quivering motion of the wings, hence the common name.
