Hummingbird Moth?

I saw this today and was amazed....it let me soooo close to it too.....

Very pretty! What you have here is a Long-tailed Skipper. http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/distr/lepid/bflyusa/fl/683.htm

Heres another picture.....

And what is this it was leaving behind on the leaves it landed on?.....

So IT is a SHE! Very cool moonlighting. I just love to see things like this...Great pictures! See y'all after the KYRU!

another.....

.....(Ü).....Have fun!

And thanks for the ID.....

I've been seeing LOTS of these little guys/gals around the garden the last few weeks. What plant is she laying her eggs on there? The only larval plant I know of for skippers is cannas.

This is a white hycianth bean vine.....when I was reading about it on the net it said that the "bean plants" were its food of choice - but I also found lots of pictures of it laying eggs on all kinds of plants....(Ü)....

I am still looking for the little ones from the eggs - I will post a picture when I find them.

I don't know if you have looked on the net for a picture of what the catapillars (sp?) of this look like but they look just too cool!
