We get them around by the light on the back porch all the time and always forget to grab a pic of them .They are out there tonight again.We get some really weird bugs here 
The other one I see once in awhile is purple and pink but have not seen them since the rain and cooler night temps .

wow your hummingbird moths are pretty...ours are grey and we have tons of them!
wow I actually found the pics of the moth hummingbirds that are here (and that was no small feat looking through all the pics I take around here) and I thought they were grey but with my pic I see they are more tanish and pink!! Lil devils fly to darn fast for my eyes to see their colors!!

I learned the hard way that hummingbird moths, also called a sphynx moth, come from the nasty green caterpillars that eat your tomato plants in the early summer! I say hard way, because I picked off those caterpillars and fed them to the frogs, THEN found out what they turn into. So, next year, I'm going to toss a bunch of tomato seeds in the other end of the garden, and let the caterpillars have their fun eating them up, move any that get on my "good" plants! One year I tossed a bunch of green, yellow and white striped caterpillars in for the frogs, only to learn they were black swallowtail caterpillars. Learning as I go .... LOVE your pics of this fascinating moth, everyone! And, yours, too, Sissy. Never saw one so pretty as that!
I've never seen one
