giant furry flying crayfish

So I was hanging laundry in the back yard and I saw a giant, furry, flying crayfish looking thing -it had a proboscis like a hummingbird, only it was curved and didn't appear to be as fixed as a hummingbirds. It had a tail that was segmented-looking, much like a crayfish or lobster. It had attenae too- very odd. What was even more odd is that it could have cared less that I was following it around, trying to figure out what it was. It didn't run away, and it didn't attack me.

After some googling around, I've discovered that it was a "hummingbird moth". A moth that appears in the daytime and eats nectar. woulda thunk?

it was cute, in an ugly sort of way. I've never heard of, let alone SEEN, anything like it.
