Sparky & I were outside enjoying the last bits of color from wild phlox (which are soooo fragrant) during their final days...
...when suddenly these little winged creatures appeared!
They sort of looked like moths, but watching them dart around and hover I started to wonder if they were baby hummingbirds - their movements and silhouettes looked just like tiny hummingbirds.
There were 2 of them - I heard a distinctive buzzing sound when one flew right past my ears
Poking around online later, I discovered they were Clearwing Hummingbird Moths - I've never seen them before, what a treat!
