Just saw this flying from flower to flower and moving like a hummingbird. Can anyone identify what it is?
It snout was bent and long.

Thanks for the help - I have never seen anything like this before. I have watched many hummingbirds in action and this really fooled me. If there is a will -- I want to be in it
