Googling, this one says moth is like a humming bird. I probably have
seen them flitting about.


Yep, that's them, I seen one two days ago. They can easily be mistaken for
a hummingbird while in flight.



We have both hummingbirds and hummingbird moths that visit our
Monarda. My husband named the moths "humbugs." There are several
varieties of Hummingbird moth and the one that appears here is not the
adult hornworm.
