I spotted this Humming Bird Moth flying around a butterfly bush in front of my house. It's about one inch in size.

Pretty cool that you got that on camera. They're a lot shyer than real hummingbirds and usually zoom away.
If we are to have another contest in…our national existence I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's, but between patriotism & intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition & ignorance on the other…

Cool pic. Thanks.
After I spotted it, and got my camera, I stood back and used a zoom to get a few pictures. The above picture is the only good one I got. The little bugger moves fast! I saw another one a few days latter but none since.

Had some bumble bee moths on my butterfly bush a few years ago.....called the University bug lady, and she ID them for me.
