BlankWe have a moth , (anyway I think it's a moth ), that comes to my flowers just after the sun goes down. At first we thought it was a humming bird because it looks like and acts just like one , but its too small. Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

It's a hummingbird moth, or a Sphinx moth.

You might try going to this site...
http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/d...s/mothsusa.htm
pick your state..then look for the section on Sphingidae and might be
able to locate a pic of the one you are seeing.

It is said that the early bird gets the worm,
but it is the second mouse that gets the cheese.

Thank you all! I'll check out the sites you all suggested!
