I don't really know much about these little guys as I have only seen them in my gardens the past 2 years.
I don't know if they die during the winter, if they migrate, or if they stay in Maine?
I know they are called Hummingbird Moths and I know I love to watch them in the garden.
Last year I had 2 of them and today I noticed there were 2 also. Not sure if it's the same 2 or what?
They seem to hang around the garden off and on all day. It took LOTS of pictures to capture the good close up ones I was able to get. Like a hummingbird, their wings go a mile a minute.
Today they were enjoying the phlox.
Last year when I first noticed them, it was during daylily season and they loved the daylilies too.

Hope you enjoy.
