Just started seeing this guy lately.
I'm guessing moth family by the way his mouth sucks nectar from flowers.
Reminds me of a giant lightening bug when you first see it.

Could anyone educate me on this guy?

Thanks!!

Well I'll guess it's Little Mr. Fashion Moth who only visits flowers he coordinates with perfectly. Very excellent photos! I can't help you on ID though.

I think you have a Virginia Ctenucha moth! Despite the "Virginia" name, they are common in Ontario.
