Verbena urticifolia (scientific)
Verbena urticifolia (White Vervain) is a herbaceous plant in the vervain family (Verbenaceae). It belongs to the "true" vervains of genus Verbena.
Hawk moths (also called Hummingbird moths, clearwing hummingbird moths, and sphinx moths) look quite similar to hummingbirds. They belong to the lepidopteran family Sphingidae.
If you're having trouble identifying a hovering, hummer-like animal - especially if it has yellow near its tail, or if it has antennae - it is probably a hawk, clearwing, or sphinx moth.
We have had numerous reports of small orange and brown or zebra-striped "hummingbirds." These are usually hawk moths (or sphinx moths). They act just like hummingbirds, but they are insects.
