Hummingbirds Feeding at night?

[bushman]

Hello

My son spotted these birds (6 or 7 total) feeding at night. We only saw them when we turned on the porch light. At first we thought they were moths but once we got a good look at one we realized they were Hummingbirds. Really cool looking with the eyeball's on their wings I guess to confuse predators. Anyone know what species they are?

Best Regards
Brian

Bushman, Im no expert but I believe they may be hummingbird moths.

Look like hummingbird hawk moths to me.

Rarer than hummingbirds themselves !

It's definitely a sphinx moth but I've been unable to find out which species. There is a wide variety of sphinx moths in Florida. We have a sphinx moth board on this forum at floridahummingbirds.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=moths.

Here's a site with Florida butterflies and moths. The sphinx moths are towards the bottom of the list.

D'ohh no clear wings.

Look like Euro one though !

I'm guessing that it might be a Banded Sphinx Moth.
