Hummingbird Moth
Apr 22, 2013 09:06:55 #
Last evening I looked at a flower planter in my yard and thought what I saw was about 1/2 dozen baby hummingbirds flying around the flowers. Grabbed my camera and looking closer saw they were some kind of moth. Looked it up and sure enough they are a hummingbird moth. I had never seen these before but they sure were pretty.
