I saw this beauty feeding on my basil.
It’s so fast that I got only a few photos and one super short video.

Wishing you all a beautiful Wednesday!

I fixed the word ‘Snowberry’.
I misspelled it on the video, the photos & this post.
I apologize for my mistake & any confusion I may have caused.

I looked at this again and realized that it’s an insect. I hadn’t known that there was a moth called a hummingbird moth.

This moth is a beauty, but, isn’t its larva the tomato horn worm that is so destructive to tomato plants?

Thanks Mary,
Yes, unfortunately, it’s caterpillars are a pest of tomato and potato farmers. We’re lucky that it’s not an issue with our gardening and we can enjoy the beauty of the Moths. 🙂

I remember thinking I’d never seen a bee that big when one crawled into a blossom on the trumpet vine one year. That’s when I learned what it really was–and I didn’t need to worry about getting stung!

I agree Patti
I thought the same thing the first one that I saw in my garden. I was so relieved to find out that it was a moth and not a stinger. 😉
