I am aware that this is a photography forum. However, am fascinated by this moth-like thing in my garden. Here's an image of it apparently taking nectar from a flower, which I'd like to enlarge and exhibit. Have searched the web to try to identify critter, but haven't found anything very similar in terms of coloring, shape, head shape, and eyes. Can anyone here that can shed some light? If useful, location of this is in high plains of western Kansas. Thank you.
I believe it is called a hummingbird moth. I have only seen them in a prairie in northwestern Pennsylvania.
By description, a ranger told me what it was.
