I think I found out WHAT my sister was talking about. One friend of mine lives about 2 hours away in themountains. She called them HUMBUGS.
Says they are all over the place there. This is from a scanned photo. Sorry it is not more clear. I showed it to a gal at work and SHe says she has them at her house. She lives a good 5 miles from me and I NEVER EVER saw one of these.
What is it and what is it called? Lady that took this photo says they are about as big as your thumb. Can you see teh little hook thing that comes out to drink the nectar?
