I live in Riverview, Fl and captured this amazing little creature and was boggled if it was a hummingbird or a moth of some kind. Now I know. My picture is to big to download- I have a amazing picture.

Good to know! These big guys, along with the Butterflies and occasional Hummingbird buzz all over my Lantana garden. I never knew what they were - until now. Thanks!

As Donalda said, you do have a photo of a clearwing moth. And from the white stripes on its abdomen it is the Nessus sphinx moth. Many of the clearwing moths do fly during the daytime, unlike most moths. They are fast flyers, so you were quick to be able to get its picture!
Great job!

Hello Leslie,
That is indeed a hummingbird moth at your forget-me- nots.
