I've seen this insect in person and I was persuaded it was a hummingbird that somehow got to Poland. It's huge for an insect, feeds of flowers hovering in place just like a hummingbird does, nothing like an usual flying insect. It has texture that look like feathers and when it feeds it often looks like he has a long straight beak.
Only on photos or very up-close you can recognize some things don't match.
We argued for a few hours what it was until we found it's actually an insect.
