Lousey I know, and taken at ten pm. I just wanted to give more info about these facinating creatures. The females have the yellow bands and brown underwings, the males are the ones with pink underwings. The center photo shows the 6-8 inch tongue extended. This is what tomato hornworms turn into and why, when I've had all the tomatoes I can stand, I let them have the plants. Then I get these nocturnal hummingbirds.
