This lil creature was very fuzzy and was hopping flower to flower. At first I thought baby hummingbird but couldn't find any photos that looked like it. Quite the large snoot on it too. Thanks for the help!

I had one of these in the garden the other evening (Canada East Coast). Managed to get a few fuzzy pics. Also got a [wiki] Wasp Mantidfly this evening which was another bonus.

Nice catch there. Should use video myself more often to record findings. I tend to upload mine to iNaturalist with our 4 y/o daughter. Teaching her not to be afraid of bugs which pleases the misses, who yelps at the site of em, when she runs up with a new founding ;)

    Woah never seen one of those before!

    Very nice, I've been doing the same with my daughter, she's 9 now and has a great respect for nature and it's inhabitants. Keep it up!
