~White-Lined Sphinx Hummingbird Moth ~
These little fellows hover and move like a hummingbird but are actually a member of the moth family. Unlike most moths, they're usually seen in full sunlight. Have a wingspan of about 2" and a long probiscus that they keep curled until ready to feed on the nectar of flowers.
