Saw one a couple months back, when I took the dog out in the middle of the night. Pretty striking, especially at night.

Every once in a great while - warm, early summer night, lilacs in bloom - might see one resting on the side of the house in the evening.

I usually see them every year, but haven't seen one this year. I think they are pretty cool as well.

Guess that's what this is. When I was in boot camp, back in the dark ages, one of the guys insisted hummingbirds were really just insects. He probably had these in mind.

I had never seen or even heard of these before this summer. Had 2 or 3 of them in a milkweed patch (along with a zillion bees and a bunch of other assorted insects).

I've seen those on the east side of the state, but not over here on the west side.

Nice video.

Saw one last year. Had never seen one before. I had to do a google search. They are pretty cool creatures !

I see them every year in northern ny. Never at night though. I see them side by side with the bees working over the flowers. Funny looking things and not much afraid of people.
