Last night I went out to turn on the sprinklers and there was this thing floating around one of my plants that has little tiny white flowers. I thought I was looking at a tiny hummingbird. It moved just like a hummingbird, wizzing from flower to flower and hovering at each while it drank. I told David to come out and look. I asked if he thought it was a hummingbird. He said, "It looks like it, but look at those antennae." I went and quickly looked it up on the internet and sure enough, it was a moth--a hummingbird moth. The thing that was so amazing about it, was you could get right up to it and it never even flinched. Just acted as if you weren't there and went about its business. These pictures I took make it look more like a moth than it did in real life. It was really cool. I was impressed that my camera got such clear pictures of the wings, as they were moving so fast they were almost invisible to the naked eye.

I have never heard of that before. That is pretty cool! And your camera did do an awesome job!
I haven't heard of that either, much less seen one. Very cool. How blog-minded you're getting, thinking to grab your camera! Well done!
Very cool! Those are really great pictures.
That is so cool! I think I saw one of those a couple weeks ago. I thought it was just a hummingbird, but it was much smaller than any other I had seen before, and I kept thinking that something was just a bit "off" now I know!
