Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Sited at dusk while walking from garage to house as it hovered among the Nicotiana blossoms and hanging petunia on a calm summer night. To our great surprise it had 2 sets of wings and not beak so we realized it was not a hummingbird and was something special.
