Hummingbird Moth
While wating for a butterfly to stop by this milkweed, this one made an apperance. Didn't stay long and never stopped. Sorry not a good shot but the strangest thing I saw today.

Isn't that the great thing about nature, you just never know what you're going to see next. I've never heard of these, but they do look interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Tough subject to capture. A bit more ss would have been nice, but that's easy for me to say. Was this handheld or on a tripod?
