Hummingbird moth?

Followed this guy around. I've seen hummingbird moths before but I thought it looked different.

Really liked zinnias and buddelia.

Last one.

WOW, I haven't seen or heard of one before. That is cool!

I have been seeing those in my garden this year as well. I had never seen one before this.

That is a type of Hummingbird Moth, yes. Very pretty!

Here you go...

Snowberry Clearwing Moth. It's one of the Sphinx Moths.

Great shots, Al! That's the same kind of guy I had in my yard a few times! I'd never seen one before and thought it was a big bumble bee, then I saw the proboscis (sp!) nose-thingie and was like, "HUH?" LOL! They're fast!

Happy Birthday Bigcityal!!!

I love this moth -- I get at least one every year and it loves the phlox and butterfly bushes ... I call it Mothra ... haven't been able to take a picture though ... you did good Al ...

thanks fly

You know I realized once I got it ID'ed that I had a baby one here last year.
