Interesting. At first glance at the video it seems more like a bee or wasp.

According Mbah Google, I do check you picture too, this creature is a Hummingbird Clearwing moth (Hemaris thysbe), known for its ability to hover and feed on nectar during the day, mimicking the behavior of a hummingbird.

Distinctive Features: It has clear wings with a reddish-brown border, an olive-green or golden thorax, and a burgundy abdomen.
Feeding Mechanism: Instead of a beak, it uses a long, coiled tube called a proboscis to drink nectar from flowers.
Behavior: These moths beat their wings rapidly—up to 70 times per second—allowing them to hover in place while feeding

Living in a remote village 2.5 hours from main tourist area doesn't mean it's always peaceful and quiet. In fact, there are events and ceremonies almost every day, in addition to the three daily Trisandiya mantras/prayers . Actualy I enjoy them, but not the dangdut and karaoke, especially after a few bottles of arak make them feel like they're participating in KDI. However, I've taken that into account by installing quality UPVC windows and doors for the price of a Wuling EV.
