Or at least the moth version of him.
At least I think it was a moth, it was at dusk and hard to see. Of course by the time I found the camera it was gone.
But it was roughly the size of a hummingbird but what looked like moth wings. The body was curled under almost like a wasp. Like I said it was dark. Oh yeah it seemed to be trying to feed on flowers perhaps or at least that sort of here and there behavior. This was all on my tomato plants.
I know that is a bizarre description but any thought on this.

That is not a very nice thing to say. Now go to your room and think about what you did. LOLrainbowgardener wrote:Yeah.. probably laying more hornworm eggs on your tomatoes!

Maybe a Cecropia moth? I know they're in your area, because I used to catch them when I was a kid living back there.

Or perhaps a Luna moth?

This one came through my open window a few nights ago. At first I thought it was a bat. I caught in a jar and kept it until morning. Here it is on my deck when I released it.
