The first time I saw one, I just got a quick look at it, and then it was gone. For a minute I thought it might have been a baby hummingbird. So I started looking on the net, and I came across a site that said "If you think you saw a baby hummingbird you probably saw a Sphinx Moth". This year we ended up with at least 3 of them around my phlox and my butterfly bush. Glad they enjoyed it, because we hardly had any butterflies this year.
