I saw this insect flitting from plant to plant in HD's outside garden area. I think it's a moth, but what kind? It hovered over flowers like a hummingbird would do.

The first time I saw a hummingbird I got all excited screaming like an idiot, and yep, it wasn't a hummingbird at all. It was your big moth. Hard to forget being that embarrassed!
