PHLOX SAFARI

Each spring a large section of phlox blooms in our backyard, and a number of creatures are drawn to it.  One of these creatures is a Nessus Sphinx moth, an insect referred to as a "hummingbird moth" because it's often confused for a very small hummingbird.  (Note: a similar type of moth is known as a Hummingbird Clearwing Moth.  There's a photo of one of these on Pictures of the Week Page 1, and a photo of them mating in Photo Gallery 7)
