I suppose the antennae are the giveaway- but it looks so like a bird!

Isn't it awesome? Robert came running in yesterday to get me out to see one that was by the pond.

It is a great photo... too bad I didn't take it. :^(

They are too quick for me to capture a shot.

Such a wonderful picture you got of the hummingbird moth. I love it! We have not these in Sweden.

I'm afraid I didn't take the picture Mrs. Hood... I just found one online that looks like the one we saw.
