That is actually a Hummingbird Moth and equally as interesting as a butterfly.
Nice shot.

Thanks $tyle I appreciate the identification. You certainly know insects. The wing action and size made me think moth, but the proboscis made me think butterfly. I guessed wrong.

DUH?
Maybe that is why he named it.
"Hovering Moth"

HonestJohn - I have to give $tyle his due. I renamed the photo to correct my mistake after hearing from him. Thanks for looking and rating my photo.
