That's the strangest looking hummingbird I've ever seen, what is it?

It could be a Hummingbird Moth!  Just like hummingbirds, these moths can be seen drinking nectar out of flowers during the day with a long flexible tube, called a proboscis.  The proboscis coils up when the moth isn't using it.  The hummingbird moth lays it's eggs on a host plant, then once the caterpillars mature they crawl down into the soil and make a coccoon.  Check out this picture of a hummingbird moth.
