6 Sharon August 19, 2011: Ok…This little creature just freaked us all out. It was suckung on my hummingbird bush and flitting around just like a hummingbird. Thought is was a baby at first but noticed the atennae. Took some pics to try and identify it and finally came across it. Your main pic looks almost exactly like the one we had today. I live in Michigan & have never seen one before.
