Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Sunny and warm day. Found this hummingbird like moth on lavender. First time I had seen one in the county. The next day I found five of them at the same location. The local neighbor blog stated that others were being seen along the coast. Seems to be an irruption occurring.
