Thanks, Frank, Ann, Marco, Jack, Larry, Alan and Bob. These are very interesting little moths, who look and behave a lot like small hummingbirds. They move very quickly, and don't linger on any blossom for very long, but I spent about an hour over the weekend chasing them (and some butterflies), and got a few decent images, of which this is my favorite.
