Big Mama
For those or that regular reader(s)...this is a picture of a Hornworm Moth. The mother of that tomater eatin' critter on my mama's balcony.
In this picture, she is eating the nectar of a Larkspur. A relative of the more familiar Delphinium. It is a delphinium species, I believe. But I digress.
Anyway, this delicate little moth is the mother to those enormous caterpillars.

sweet. i took this photo in my backyard this past year of a white lined sphinx moth (hummingbird moth) eating from our sage: http://www.onechildleftbehind.com/whitelinedsphinx5.jpg
the hornworms are damaging, but i love the moths (they're HUGE! and they sound like little helicopters)
