So it got me thinking about something I've seen only once in my life and I was wondering if anyone else had seen anything like it. Now, for the oddball description. I can not recall the color but I think it was green/red or something. It was the size of a humming bird It hovered like a humming bird The odd thing was that it had curled antennas and a proboscis. I'd only seen one once in my life, was with my father at the time who said it may be a lady bird. No clue, I've googled that a few times and nothing useful comes up. So I was wondering if anyone's seen anything like this? It was very odd and I wish I knew what it was. I saw both the moth and birds this summer. It was thrilling because I hadn't seen either since I was very young. The moth was fast and didn't stick around so I could watch it. I just bought a feeder for next year, don't know if the moths will use that or not but hope the hummingbirds will. The hummingbirds came in real close to three of us standing there talking, maybe 3' or so. It was my annual salvia sangria they liked, the red spikey things that stuck out. Check at Lanny over in Rec.birds. Lanny bands hummingbirds! http://www.hummingbirds.net/map.html If you have one humming bird feed you have one hummingbird. If you have two humming bird feeders you have one hummingbird. If you have three humming bird feeders you have one hummingbird if they are in sight of each other. So place your feeds about your house not in sight of each other that way one little beast can't protect it and you may have many hummers . Bill PS 1 part sugar to four parts water and no dye. I like humzinger as they don't leak. http://www.hummzinger.biz/humzinger.htm -- S Jersey USA Zone 5 Shade http://www.ocutech.com/ High tech Vison aid |
