A picture from tonight on the Patio. I believe it to be some kind of Moth but it would not land just hover from Lantana blossum to blossum. Check out the toungue!!!! Again this moth is in flight at the time of picture... What is it!!!!!!!!
This flying invader is nearly 2 inches long...

That is a white-lined sphinx moth. They are crazy for honeysuckles. They are all over the place here in Texas. You sometimes mistake them for hummingbirds at dusk when they start to come out. I love them. I dont think they are destructive.
