What kind of hummingbird is this? Its actually a moth! The White-Lined Sphinx Moth is almost the same size as a hummingbird, and flies the exact same way by hovering over flowers. But instead of a beak, the moth has a long probobscis that can suck nectar from the flower. They are common across North and Central America and have a role in pollinating many different plants. The adult only lives for a few weeks, long enough to lay eggs on plants that will provide food for the baby caterpillars. Hav
