Re: Natural Pest Control


It could have been one of the varieties of Hawk Moths or a Hummingbird Moth. We have some of those around here and they are fantastic. If you can ever get a clear photo I could probably tell you more.

Pastor Rick will get over it.

Re: Natural Pest Control


Hummingbird Moth......sounds very familiar...I think my girlfriend once called them that!
They drink flower nectar like a hummingbird does...
I found this on the internet, and it's exactly what they looked like...

Thank you for that......I had forgotten my friends conversation.... emoticon

Re: Natural Pest Control


Hummingbird Moths are amazing to watch. I saw tons of them in Arkansas. They remind me of colorful little flying crayfish.

Re: Natural Pest Control


They're noisy too! You can hear them fly! emoticon
But we'd sit on the deck and I always had tons of petunias and geraniums in pots, and in the evening they'd come in droves and just have a great time! It was waaay cool! emoticon

Re: Natural Pest Control


Here are some pics of a White-lined Sphinx Moth. Sphinx Moths and Hummingbird Moths are fairly closely related. The one in my hand gives a good idea of the size. The second shot shows one in flight. Both were taken in my yard.

Boy this topic sure has run the gamut of subjects. We went from pest control to birds to moths.

Re: Natural Pest Control


So long as the subjects of conversation remain pretty true to the overall theme of the board I don't mind if they cross over in topics. I'm just happy to have new people to share things with.
