Hummingbird Moth

Who am I? I am the Clearwing Hummingbird Moth!
I enjoy many of the same flowers as the Hummingbird, I am a beneficial pollinator of your garden, I hover while sipping nectar, I zip from flower to flower, I am tiny like a hummingbird
How I am Different from you, Dear Hummingbird!
Unlike you, there are no territory fights. You might find me sharing a flower with a hummingbird. I keep my long tongue curled under my head and uncurl it to take in the nectar. I am quite friendly, humans can come close.
There are 2 unusual suspects that are categorized as hummingbird moths, The clear wing moth and White-lined Sphinx Moth (Sometimes called "Hawk Moth")
