Episode description

In this episode of Earth Rangers, a science podcast for kids who love animals and nature, Earth Ranger Emma heads to the sunny Mediterranean coast of Spain in search of one of nature’s sneakiest tricksters – the hummingbird hawkmoth! 🦋☀️

It may look like a hummingbird… but it’s not! With its fluffy wings and a built-in nectar-sipping straw (a very long one), this moth is on a mission: to find the perfect flower partner! Will it fall for the fancy Arctic Bell Heather, the party-loving Milkweed, or a jazzy Mediterranean bloomer that really brings the heat? Join Emma as she decodes nature’s matchmaking mysteries, uncovers a real-life case of co-evolution, and reveals the flower that was literally made for this fabulous fuzzy flier.
