Thanks to all who commented and looked. And a special thanks to DB for identifying this moth. I certainly appreciate your help and wisdom and for the link that you supplied. Again thanks to everyone. BB
Here's a few more photos I took at the same place as I photoed the moth.

Thanks again to all who view and or responded.
For those that like those small blue butterflies, here's a photo I quite liked with two of them on a wet rock.
Have a great day. Bill

Absolutely beautiful shots... may I ask what lens you were using? The detail is wonderful... always looking for advice on how to capture Nature at her best. Well done!
And ty Nikonian for clearing that up... I just identified the hummingbird moth, did not take the photos (although I wish I had they are so good)

Hi DB; I accredited Bill with naming the Moth when it was actually you. Sorry for that. Now can you identify this lovely blue and brown bf? I looked it up on google with no luck.

This is a great shot of the hummingbird moth. I have seen them up high in the American Basin flying right alongside the hummingbirds. Great photos, thanks for posting.

We assume these were photographed in Utah. Feel free to view all of the different 'Blue' photos listed about halfway down this page: http://www.utahlepsociety.org/bfstatechecklist.htmlNow can you identify this lovely blue and brown bf?

So many of you seem to be taken with these little blue butterflies. In a photo its very hard to tell their size. But in real size some of these are not nearly as big as dime. Some are barely half the size of a dime. They are tiny little guys!
Again thanks to all for looking and liking. Bill
