Hemaris diffinis
Black and tan winged moth about 2 inches long. They fly and move like a hummingbird. It has a long curled tongue. Wings are outlined with black and are clear. It's tail reminds me of the shape of of a lobster's tail and fans out at the end.They are plump and fuzzy. You can hear a humming noise coming from them.
This one was living in a flower garden, but they also live in forests and fields.
