I'll sneak in a few words about hummingbird moths, because I think they
are very cool.
They look and behave so much like a hummingbird that it's hard to
believe they are a moth and not a bird when you first see them. If your
first thought was that it was a moth, it makes me wonder if it was
another kind of moth.
Easy enough to clear up, I guess. Is this what you had? Pictures found
on the web (not mine):

Don't let the pink color throw you; I don't remember seeing it on the
ones in my yard. I seem to remember some green tints. It's been almost
two years since my last sighting so I could remember wrong.

Thank you Gene, It gave me quite a fright this morning. Now I have a 'name'
to put to the moth, and I'll be looking for it. It can snack all it wants
to as long as it doesn't pollinate....lol
