Amphion floridensis
This is clearly a hummingbird moth, but I'm having a hard time narrowing down its scientific name. There were two that were flitting about the flowering milkweeds.
:) we have these around lilac bushes in the UP Michigan too! Great shots and video!
While this moth was feeding from milkweed blooms, I understand that they are attracted to mock orange bushes, which are next to these plants.
There is only one possibility for a hummy with these 2 white stripes: Amphion floridensis.
