What is this?

I thought these were very tiny hummingbirds until I captured this
movie. If you pause it at some point where it is clear against the house,
you can clearly see that this is some sort of insect.
Looks like a flying shrimp to me..
The blossom it is feeding from is about 4 inches long and an inch and a half in diameter. They make no noise that I can hear.
Got something to add? Send me email.

Don't blame me for the fact that competent programming, as I view it as an intellectual possibility, will be too difficult for "the average programmer" — you must not fall into the trap of rejecting a surgical technique because it is beyond the capabilities of the barber in his shop around the corner.

I'm glad this critter got identified so soon, for I assure you I would have spent as long as it takes today to do it myself! When I see an unknown bird or insect I can't rest till I know what it is (and usually why it scared me silly, in the case of an insect).
What an interesting sight this one was. I wonder if this moth does any particular damage, or particular good, in the ecosystem...?
