I've seen these as well; they're moths and name escapes me. I've seen =
them in the southern metro and on the north shore at Betty's Pies. In =
the latter case they were feeding in the same loction as hummers, on =
wildflowers. I have not seen them visit hummer feeders. Maybe another =
netter can come up with the species name.

Not knowing what I saw has bothered me since last fall. When I was =
sitting out side in the late evening I witnessed the visit of a =
hummingbird, feeding on a geranium, that I cannot identify. It was =
half the size of a rubythroated hummer. On it's back appeared stripes =
running crosswise of it's boby. At first I thought it was a large beatle =
than I saw a tiny beak it was inserting in the flower to feed. We fed =
many hummers during the summer and they had already left to migrate. Can =
you tell me what I have seen.
