Don't feel bad seaotter. The first one visited us 2 years ago, and I had no idea what it was. I was out trying to get some good pictures of my flowers when it appeared and I had no idea what it was either. That was my first time seeing them too. I went on line to try to figure out what it was and decided to type in baby hummingbird. That took me to a site that said, "if you think you have seen a baby hummingbird, you have probably seen a sphinx moth". And it showed a picture of it, so that's how I ended up finding out what it was. At that time I didn't have a good enough picture of one to ask for an ID of it.
I have been watching my flower bed for that past couple of days. I went out there yesterday only to find 3 of the little things flying around my plants. So out came the camera again to see if I could get a better picture of them. Here are 2 of them :)
