Bugs, bugs, bugs

I have no idea why- but as of late, bugs are very interesting to me- photography wise, anyway...I decided to take my children out one day last week and take a few pics. While waiting for the railroad to clear out (other people had the same idea as I) we went to a butterfly garden. It was small, but we had nice time seeing all the different insects - this being one.

My oldest son asked me if it was hummingbird. I told him I didn't know, because it was so small and it had antennas, so after Googling it, we found out it is a hummingbird moth. These pics are of it actually flying, but the wings are moving so fast until it looks like they aren't!
