I know...Very weird...maybe this is an old website not sure...Or maybe you should report them!! ?? I dont know how it works exactly...maybe there are different "breeds" like in hummingbirds?? |
well my stepdad doesnt have our pics anymore of them so im gonna have to try to take one. BUT my sister in law might have them still but we dont like each other lol so i might get my stepdad to ask her for them. Shes the one that took them. |
that would be cool if you could get them and report it ! |

hahahaha thats too funny! i know i should report them but its soo difficult to get a pic! last summer it wasnt because they were always in our flower bush but this time like i said i only see them at night really! and unless he lands in a good clear spot for my camera to get it wont be any good! |

We have them here in NE Ohio, too. My ex-mother in law planted butterfly bushes in her garden one summer, and they were buzzing all over them! We all thought they were baby humming birds! No one else around here seems to know what I'm talking about though; we even have butterfly bushes at my preschool, but I haven't seen any. Maybe they were specific to my ex-husband's yard??? :rolleyes: -O |
I have seen these on my pool screen! We have tons of hibicus flowering most of the year. Maybe that is what attracts them. Hmm never knew what they were called |
Are butterfly bushes called "butterfly bushes"? I want to get some! |
i dont see them in anyone elses yard either lol just ours! i think they know we are nice to them and their our no kids at our house to try and catch them! Its just us , yorkies, cat, and the moths lol! one big happy family! Im going to tell my mom and stepdad to snap pics when they see them!.they see them more than me they work in the yard more than i do lol. |
Thats what they are!!! I caught one last summer so that I could get a really close look at it. It was buzzing my butterfly bushes along with all of the butterflies. I also have humming birds that come to my flower gardens each year.. The one I caught looked just like the green one in the second link that you posted. Thanks for the info. |
Oooooohhh! I live in CA and we have lots of them here. I have given up on growing tomatoes because of these. In the 'hornworm' stage, they can decimate a tomato plant overnight. They are very large and I am scared of them. I played with moths and crickets when I was a child but now I am scared to death of getting one on me.....they are so BIG! My grandaughter made me look really bad when she was four and five years old. When I ran in the house to get away from one, she would say..."Don't be scared, Grandma..I'll catch it so it won't scare you anymore"...and then she would. Gave me the shivers. |
