There’s a hummingbird moth in North America as well (sometimes called, not by me, a”flying lobster”):

With most moths feeding by night, the idea with these things apparently is that because they resemble the hummingbird body shape and their wings are invisible, they get passed by as hummingbirds. Not sure what’s going on with the European model, as there are no hummingbeasts there.
