It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's a Sphinx Moth?????



Okay, so pulling up to our house this morning, I thought I spotted a hummingbird, but it didn't quite look big enough or bird enough, so I had to do some researching on the internet.


It seems that Blake & I have witnessed a very special, unique daytime appearance by the White-lined Sphinx Moth. Here's a little about them: Most fly at night and are rarely seen. A few species, however, fly during cloudy afternoons and at dusk when they feed at flowers in a manner similar to that of a hummingbird.


WOW! I feel special and a little creeped out all at the same time - I mean, a tiny hummingbird seems much more adorable than an over-sized moth, don't you think?
