I am digging up and under the back of our yard these days, which in the past has been covered with vines, bush, phlox and an odd assortment of everything. Today, while getting my ass kicked by lily roots, I noticed this little fella in the phlox. A Hummingbird moth.

This is ony the second time I've ever seen one of these.
I saw one earlier in the year in Southern California and had to do considerable research to find out what the heck it was.
Fascinating beast!
Loren, great to hear from you. There were actually two of them flitting around. On top of that, we have hummingbirds too thanks to the feeder we put out. A real hummingbird aura going on in the backyard.
I've never seen one before.
Thanks!
Also, I love the kids' goggles in the mudfight photos.
