It's furry like a bumblebee or a moth. It's shaped kind of like a moth. It has six legs (so it's an insect) and antennae, but it also has a beak and flapps it's wings superfast like a hummingbird. I have never in my entire life seen one of these guys before... anyone know what it is????
Never mind, just did a google search and it turns out he's a Hummingbird Moth.

what a freaky looking creature that is!!!
Completely not timid either. We stood there for several minutes moving around and taking it's picture and it only flew away when it had decided it was finished feasting on the flowers.
Neat! I've never seen one of those before either!
Beautiful - I've got some strange ones that seem to like hanging on my door frame (throughout the hot sunny day, no less), but nothing that colourful!
I hope he comes back. I have lots of hummingbird style flowers and shrubs, so hopefully he thinks our gardne would be a good place to frequent. The hummingbirds seem to, there's a few that come and go throughout the day.

Hi I live in the Endless Mountians of PA and had four of these humming bee moths on my butterfly bush last year. They seem to visit the bush around the same time every evening in late summer. We've spent countless hours watching them.
