Haley, I think that's a plume moth too. Joe

uhm, the second picture is a bird, not fitting the first spotting. Please separate them. One spotting- one species! :)

Tara, I think you are confusing it with a Mosquito hawk, which does eat mosquitos.

We always called these skeeter eaters, but my husbands family calls them mosquitos - who knows?
