labdaddy,

That is one of the Hummingbird Hawkmoths. There are 3 species and I cannot tell which yours is from your photos: http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/adv_search.php?searcher[common]=hummingbird&searcher[bugorder]=&searcher[family]=&searcher[genus]=&searcher[species]=&Search=Search

This forum is for questions relating to adding data to the BugFiles database.

We have a forum on Insect and Spider Identification here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/f/bugid/all/
and if you post your question there, you may get better information.

If you have an image, you could attach it to the message you post for a better chance of getting an identification
