Does anyone know what type of hummingbird moth this is? I understand there are several types and this is the first pic I have seen that matches the ones that visit our flower bed every evening.

William is correct. It was a point and shoot Canon Powershot SX100 IS. (8 mega pixel). I did put it on the macro setting for close up photos.

There must be alot of these in the Bryans’ feild because it is full of this yellow stuff,it’s beautiful! And it’s good to know,finally,what this moth is called. We have a funny looking bee around our fig tree that I would love to have a name for. It looks like the jet black bee that is harmless but has a black and gold tail where the stinger would be?

I admit, I guess I was wrong about the type of camera that was used, but usually, you don’t get as good quality pic. with those compared to the slr’s

We get them every year. They LOVE our moonflowers! We get so many at once that it looks like some sort of plague! They get even bigger than that too!
