Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This really does look like a hummingbird at first, but it is too small. It is very fast and the wings never really stopped. It was on my native phlox right next to the porch. It flitted from flower to flower, seeming to explore each one. Beautiful, I was unable to get a picture. The temp is about 70 at the end of very nice autumn day.

Coordinator notes: I love having the so-called weeds growing in my backyard wall garden. Some years these moths are very common but this year I've only had one show up at the lights at night.
