Whazzat???


At first we thought it was a hummingbird at our butterfly bush because it hovered like a hummingbird, but upon closer inspection (with the zoom lens) it looked more like a bug than a bird. Anyone know what this is?

Jon says it's a hummingbird moth, so I guess you're sort of right on both counts! We had one in our garage awhile back, but Jon wasn't able to get a good pic of it.
