As I got closer, there was what I originally thought was a hummingbird fluttering to-and-fro, stopping for sips of nectar. I slowly retreated to my car where I just happened to have my digital camera and snapped a few pictures before the battery died. I like this pic but it's a little blurry...can anyone make it nicer for me? Anyway, is this a hummingbird moth? Are there several varieties of hummer-moths and if so, what is this one? I'll attach a couple more pics. You'll have to get close to see the details. |
