omg - I was just outside on my evening break and saw what looked like a cross between a moth and a hummingbird gathering nectar - right in front of me.  It had no fear.  I got witin inches of it.  Wow.... totally makes my day!!!

Here is what it looks like (I googled "cross between a hummingbird and moth" when I came inside)

How is it that I've never seen this before in my whole life?



It was just like this - no fear.  I would reach out to it and it would just scooch over just out of my reach.  So cute!!
