Hummingbird Moth

I was outside at dusk tonight and saw this hummingbird moth fluttering around my torenia plant.  Too bad it wasn’t a real hummingbird!

Jess My blog started as a daily record of wildlife and plants in my backyard garden, plus snapshots of our cats and Rich's favorite turtles. Then I discovered bird photography, and now the birds outnumber the cats and turtles! Browse the links below to see birds and other critters photographed around Central Florida.
