Description
This is a White-lined Sphinx Moth or Hummingbird Moth.
The adult moths have the very unmothlike behavior of flying in full daylight, hovering at flower blossoms, and feeding on nectar. It takes a certain amount of luck to see a hummingbird moth, but you can increase your chances by being aware of which flowers are producing nectar at any time. When the nectar is at its prime, it will attract many insects, including bees, butterflies, and - perhaps - a hummingbird moth.- Mass Audubon

When I saw the Texas Sage had bloomed, I grabbed the camera for some shots and I was pleasantly surprised to see this Hummingbird Moth busy on the sage bush. They don't stay still for very long!
