Really bright --too bright --sun, but this particular guy was willing to leave wings open just long enough to get this shot.

out there, but only recently have they attracted Swallowtails. There was a yellow Swallowtail in my yard the other day, but it preferred the Lantana.

The only time I've seen a hummingbird moth was when we were living in Lincoln, NE. It was attracted to a whiskey barrel planter full of impatiens.
