I thought these were very tiny hummingbirds until I captured this movie. If you pause it at some point where it is clear against the house, you can clearly see that this is some sort of insect.
Looks like a flying shrimp to me..
The blossom it is feeding from is about 4 inches long and an inch and a half in diameter. They make no noise that I can hear.

@loudmouthman: correct, but how do you prove ANYTHING like that is accurate? You can't. A text file is no better or worse than anything. - Nov 21 07:40
@loudmouthman: well, a digital signature could prove it hadn't been altered. Text is no more insecure than anything else in that sense.

I'm glad this critter got identified so soon, for I assure you I would have spent as long as it takes today to do it myself! When I see an unknown bird or insect I can't rest till I know what it is (and usually why it scared me silly, in the case of an insect).
What an interesting sight this one was. I wonder if this moth does any particular damage, or particular good, in the ecosystem...?
