Cool footage of a White-lined Sphinx Moth (Hyles lineata) in my front yard the evening of 2007-04-11. It's often referred to as a hummingbird moth because it can easily be mistaken for a young hummingbird because it resembles hummingbirds in size and behavior.

I live in Michigan and I've seen Moths that look like that, not sure it is the same kind though...

The only place that I have seen these moths is in north western New Mexico.

carpenocterm66, I agree. Went I went to the sonoran desert museum in Arizona, I saw one. My mom and dad said it was a hummingbird, but I caught it and showed it to them.

I am so disappointed. Are you sure? I adore these things, but my tomatoes. . . . Ok I'll share :o)

I saw one of these guys in Arizona believe it or not, and I thought it was a Hummingbird for the longest time because of the photos I took

There is a different sphinx moth called the Hummingbird Moth, which has clearer wings and a prettier body. The white-lined sphinx shown here can be pests as caterpillars, but the adult is so cool I would not begrudge it a tomato plant!

Hummingbird moths are the culprits in laying eggs on tomato plants that turn into tomato bugs, the ugly green things that attack tomato plants in the summer.

We saw one of these in Gaylord, Michigan, and we had no clue what the heck it was. Thanks for posting this!
