It's a bird... It's a Hawk... No.. It's a ....Moth???

One of the coolest things I've noticed about Nature, (especially lately) is that you never know how cool a creature is till it lets you get up close and personal. About a 5 inch wing span. I thought this was one of the biggest moths that I had ever witnessed, but for the life of me, I couldn't get passed the proboscis. That is that little "party noisemaker" looking thingy that it uses to sip the nectar from flowers. I had to know what this little flyer was...

( Thanks Google) ..lol     The plant is Point Sal Purple Sage (not native to Arizona) and the Beauty that I got to take a picture of is a Hummingbird Moth. Ha! Who knew!! I certainly didn't...What a gift to witness so many amazing forms of life!    5/28/2017
