Hummingbird Moths vs. Rusty, The Mighty Hunter
I guess the presence of a predator put the hummingbird moths' reproductive instincts into full gear! We now have many of these moths and many of them are babies! Every evening at about 7:30, the moths begin showing up to feast on the Four O'Clocks and the Rose of Sharon. It does my heart good to visit with them each evening and to know that Rusty, The Mighty Hunter, will probably not be able to wipe out the entire population of hummingbird moths. :)
