So I may not need as much help identifying this as once thought. A friend in Toronto has helped and provided a link. I'll still post the pictures anyways and see if anyone else has any ideas.
This critter appeared in Mom's garden this afternoon. The best way to describe him would be a flying lobster. You'll see when you see the pictures. It turns out he is a
hummingbird clearwing moth. That's a link my friend provided. If you have any other ideas, please leave them in the comments! Thanks!
So, that's him. I'm actually really please with some of these photos. :) Leave it to me to turn it into a photo essay!!
