It had an extremely long proboscis and was feeding on a yellow flower right on the beach. When I say long, I mean 3-4 inches! I got some video of it, but it was low light and my camera has a fairly slow frame rate, so I can't be sure what it was. Here is a link to the video. I slowed it down some so you could see the moth better. Sorry for the poor quality... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw_eyVQDabM&feature=youtu.be This is a picture of the flower it was feeding on.
