Hummingbird Moth

We were haning out on the back pourch Monday with some friends and one of them pointed out this crazy bug at my flowers. At first we thought it was a huge bee, but after closer examination Mr. B proclaimed it was a hummingbird moth. We figured Mr. B just made that up, but it did look like the love child of a bird and a moth. Hey what happens in Mexico stays in Mexico, or in this case makes its way to my back pourch in rural Wisconsin.

 

I did looked it up, it's for real there are hummingbird moths and they aren't secret love children.
