chris.brock Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 it's only the 2nd time I've seen one, I googled it and figured it out, the little guy is about the size of a toonie, that's Bee Balm if your familiar with the plant, the pictures aren't the best any guesses?

Rich Clemens Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I've seen these before and have always wondered what they were. Seems they don't have the body shape of a Hummingbird - unless it is another variety. Will be interested in their identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave524 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 From what i understand the hummingbird moth is the adult of those huge green caterpillars that devour half a tomato plant in one night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
