Hummingbird Hawk-Moth

We saw this little guy when we went outside tonight- he was feeding on my plant and we thought he was a little hummingbird at first. If you click on a pic it will bring the pics up in a shadow box and you can click through them at the bottom :)

Hummingbird Hawk-Moth.. The hummingbird hawk-moth is a species of Sphingidae. Its long proboscis and its hovering behaviour, accompanied by an audible humming noise, make it look remarkably like a hummingbird while feeding on flowers.
