Hummers eat most any soft-bodied bugs they can swallow whole: fruitflies, gnats, aphids, and tiny spiders, plus their eggs and larvae. If you have an insecticide-free lawn and garden, you'll have plenty of bugs to fuel hummingbird migration.

"The 2 hummers in my yard are almost exclusively bugging now. They rarely come to feeders except early morning and late afternoon. I expect they'll leave soon," reported Meret Wilson in Ormond Beach, Florida. 03/14/16
