Faux Hummer

White-lined Sphinx Moth from the Witchita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge yesterday. These guys are pretty hard to catch in flight but the refuge is richly in bloom with Indian Paintbrush and this moth was so intent on the flowers it wasn't paying me any attention. I sat down on a rock and photographed it flying from bloom to bloom.
