A dancing caterpillar of the brown-tail moth (Euproctis chrysorrhoea). 🐛🎵
It's German name is Goldafter. 💩💰😅 Hairs from those caterpillars are toxic for humans. They cause an itchy rash! ☠ At the moment, there are many in the bushes along the railway tracks, which they eat bare.

Hummingbird hawk-moth,
Macroglossum stellaratum
(06/2017 in Oberursel, Germany)

Although we don't have hummingbirds in Europe, some are spotted sometimes. Due to their fast wing movements this diurnal moth looks very big in flight. The moth performs hummingbird-like flight maneuvers and makes an impressive sound. They are migratory butterflies and spend the summer in northern Eurasia. In winter, they fly to southern Eurasia and North Africa. There are also transition areas with permanent habitat. However, the borders are shifting due to global warming.
