I think these were the white-lined sphinx variety, lots were feeding of the sage and this one on jasmine (maybe)

This reddish brown Clearwing Hummingbird Moth, Hemaris, entertained me for quite some time as it flitted from one purple/pink bloom to another of the Butterfly Bush, Buddleia. It comes by its name honestly as it hovers, hums and nectars just like the Hummingbird and it loves the same flowers.

Today I was so lucky! I saw a monarch butterfly on my walk with my doggo, AND I saw a hummingbird moth!
I tried to get a picture of the butterfly, but it was too far away. Neither of these little marvels of Nature were willing to take a photo. But at least I got to see them!

Never grows old. A Nessus sphinx nectaring on a flowering tree in the yard.

Day flyers, they can beat their wings up to 70 beats per second and hover like hummingbirds, too.

There's lots of muscadine grapevine here. Grapevine is one of their host plants, as are Capsicum and peppervine (aka porcelainberry).

Hummingbird Moth and Pink Snapdragons ©Debra Martz This past September, beautiful pink Snapdragons and a lovely variety of flowers in the garden at the Cuchara Yacht Club were attracting butterflies, bees and the Hummingbird Moths. I especially liked how the pink of the flowers made the pink in the wings stand out more.
