A Bird?


Upstate this weekend, I happened upon an interesting sight.
While looking at this patch of phlox, I wondered what was this thing?


It reminded me of the time I saw a baby hummingbird one summer back home in Alaska.
But this didn't seem quite right. Google to the rescue!
Turns out the thing is a HUMMINGBIRD MOTH. You learn something new every day.
