“What are these beautiful creatures recently seen all over West Marin? These white-lined sphinx moths (Hyles lineata) are often mistaken for hummingbirds as they hover over thistles and other flowers and slurp the nectar. Their bodies and wingspans are up to 3.5 inches long,” the park said in a social media post.
Seen before in Japan, but this is the first time I've seen one here.
