Just what was mentioned here. If you could look into it that would be great. I've found a few more since then.

The hummingbird moths fly a lot like real hummingbirds and they will eat at the same feeders too.

If you get a chance to see them feed they are neat to watch. They will show up early morning or cloudy days.

I found it. It might be a White-lined sphix moth or Hyles Lineata.
