It was behaving like a bumblebee or hummingbird, I assumed Sphinx moth an= d zeroed in on Hemaris diffinis. It never stopped moving, so there was no c= hance for a photo, but it had a couple of closely spaced yellow bands acros= s the tail, which were very obvious from a distance. The body was relativel= y dark, but not black. H. diffinis is not listed on the Butterflies and Mot= hs of NA site for Nova Scotia, but H. thysbe is. Judging from pictures on t= he web, the moth Iobserved was not the latter.=0A=0AAny ideas?=0A=0AWe do h= ave one familiar moth lodging here on the N.
