It has a fascinating proboscis, which it curled and aimed and straightened as needed, and it visited flower after flower as I watched, letting me get much closer than any hummingbird ever allowed.
But it's still a quick little thing. With only a cellphone camera at hand, I did what I could, but, if you've never seen one of these, I think you'll be interested.

Really lovely creature. Never knew they existed. I will be on the lookout for a hummingbirh moth in my backyard
Thank you, Byron,
Always on the look out for new wonders.
