Hummingbird moth (Hyla lineata?) breakfasts at the lavender in the front yard - photo by Ed Darrell
Kathryn planted lavendar on the front walk. It crowds the walk, so you have to brush by it coming in or going out of the house, and sometimes you get a great whiff of lavender.
On the way back from getting the newspaper this morning I was greeted by this hummingbird moth sipping its breakfast from the lavender blossoms. It was too dark for natural lighting. The flash froze the wings, and exposed colors that you can’t see as the little creature hovers.
Probably a Hyla lineata, no?
