    Hummingbird Moth

    An interesting 'Hummingbird' moth taken this morning in Panjin, Liaoning, China. A half dozen of so feeding in one flower bed. I found it interesting how the color of the rear wings closely matched the flowers that they were feeding on. The underwing also matches well with the flowers. I only...

    While visiting my daughter in Colorado last summer I took a walk near Chatfield Lake and came across these hummingbird moths pollinating from flower to flower. They are amazing to watch!

    Last one of the Hummingbird Moth

    showing how it got its name. Like the Hummingbirds, it hovers while nectaring. It's also just about their size :eek!:

    Hummingbird Moth, aka White-lined Sphynx

    An Anna's Hummingbird came along seconds later and the moth yielded to superior beak power, then came back again when the hummer flew off, having established "ownership" of this orange tree. Now, as for browsing: WiFi at the hotel is glacially slow. I'm aftraid I won't get caught up...

    I'm not 100% sure that's what this is. I'm hoping to get confirmation today. This is the fifth type of hummingbird moth I've had in my garden this summer!

    Hummingbird Clearwing Moth

    This little guy paid no attention to me at all and let me take 90 photos of him as he raced from flower to flower. Here is one of the best of the lot. It took 1/800 sec and fill-in flash to stop those wings.

    Hummingbird Moth, The Imposter!

    When my husband and I first spotted these in our yard 2 years ago, we thought perhaps they were baby hummingbirds. It took several months to find out what they were. They are a colorful, fanciful addition to our garden. They gather nectar from our butterfly bush, which also attracts...
