Taking photos for a marathon in Arlington today and thought I saw a hummingbird beside me but on closer inspection of the photos, I think it’s a hummingbird moth. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/03/full-79302-133796-3c522235_0b2b_45cf_a7b3_055445acf404.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/03/full-79302-133798-66c0ae5c_68a2_44fc_bb58_126c6645e67f.jpeg)

I've been seeing those out here on the farm as well. I thought it was a hummingbird too. Never heard of a hummingbird moth.

The first and only one I ever saw was in New York about 2 hours north of NYC. It looked and acted just like a hummingbird. But when it got right next to me I could clearly see that it was a moth and not a hummingbird. They are very cool looking.

I have only seen one in my entire life. It was at the Caddo state park feeding on some kind of sap coming out of a tree. My Wife got a bunch of pictures, but I have no idea where they are.

We used to have some autumn sage and it drew them in. There would be 10 or more at a time. I thought they were baby hummingbirds the first few times I saw them.

They're called Clearwig moths. I used to have them at my house, but haven't seen them in years.
