A while back I was looking at thread here on DR that mentioned a lobster bird. I have found this video supposedly showing an actual "lobsterbird". <****** width="420" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yvu8FQPdU0k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></******> It looks more like a humming bird but it has a pair antennas on its head, it could be a moth of some sort. What do you guys think? I find it hard to believe that there's a flying crustacean. |

Imho it belongs to Sphingidae family, some Entomologyst would be able to say it for sure. Quote:
