What are you? (3 pictures)

So this looks like a cross between a butterfly, a hummingbird and a moth…whatever it is looks pretty cool to me.

    I’ve sent your post to a blogger that is very familiar with various garden “creatures.” Perhaps he’ll have an answer. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Nan sent me. That is a Hummingbird Hawkmoth.

    I stand corrected. I think you are in the States, yes? If this is correct then the insect is a hummingbird moth, probably, a Clearwing hummingbird moth.

    Hope this helps?

    We have them here too. We thought they were hummers but they are moths. Great shot. ๐Ÿ™‚

    OMG! It’s a scary moth!
    I mean, I’m not against moths…. some are gorgeous, but some really freak me out! I looked up hummingbird moth. I’ve broken a sweat, and need a break!
    Be well! ๐Ÿ˜€
