Ray have you ever seen -I think they are called--hawk
moths ? Anyhow one year in Wisconsin I thought I was
more delusional than normal because I was seeing itsy
bitsy humming birds on my flowers . They come out
before the sun goes down and they hover , go backwords
,have a long snout and generaly look like little
hummingbirds to me .
