	gseloff says: Thanks, all, for the nice comments. Actually, I thought I was snapping away at a real hummingbird until I reviewed the images and enlarged them. I have since learned that "Hummingbird Moth" is the common name given to this family of moths that hover when they feed. Posted 8 months ago. ( permalink )
