Had never seen anything like this. After investigation was told it was a moth not a new species of hummingbird. I work at a commercial plant nursery and no one in this area had ever seen this before
by Grits1221 Mar 9, 2012 6:05 AM
My sister took this picture on 5-21-12. Not sure what out is, never seen one before. Looks like a mouth crossed with a bumble bee with a tail like a shrimp.

I was told this was a hummingbird moth.. I dubbed it a hummingbee because of its strips.
by No1PugMom May 23, 2013 9:00 AM
its a bug that is very fast and hovers over blossoms of the honey suckle shrub, i imagine it can beat its wings faster than a hummingbird dont know if im right.
