hoghntr Report post Posted September 2, 2014 They turn into humming bird moths. Here's a picture. 250px-Hummingbird_Moth_(9687769149).jpg That tarantula picture rocks Nature Girl! Correction! my 5 year old says they turn into LITTLE BILLS! 1st year we saw them and wife brought one home till it became moth he named little bill after cartoon he watched at 3yrs old. So hummingbird moth or not my son will still tell everyone its a little bill moth. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
