Hummingbird Moth (and Hummingbird for comparison)

Bugs are interesting (as long as they aren’t eating your fruit or vegetable gardens). Here’s a photo of a Hummingbird Moth. After being a yellowish-green caterpillar with darker green lines and reddish-brown abdominal spots and a yellow tail horn, it has a wing-span of about 1 ½ - 2 inches and – in its flight stage – lives the lifestyle of a HummingBIRD.
