We have never seen one of these amazing creatures (nor even heard of one) before! Have you?? He is a member of the sphinx moth family; more information here.
And while I'm at it, below is a photo of the furry white moth that had captured our attention just moments before the Hummer discovery ...
Now this guy we have not yet identifed. Give a holler if you know what we are looking at here! He was clinging to the back of our Playskool shopping cart, barely flinching even when we lightly blew on him or placed our fingers near him. He did finally move and we could see he was indeed alive; maybe he's nocturnal and was just deeply asleep?
And so summer begins! :)
