I'd never seen this type of moth before. It was fascinating to watch, flying with a twisting wing movement like a hummingbird, and going from one bloom to another on our Buddleia bushes, sipping the nectar at each. At times it seemed almost shrimp like in its shape, with the articulation of its body.
