Hummingbird moth?
Funny thing is that if this moth had come along about five minutes later, I might have gotten a photo of the sunflower thief in the neighborhood, but I'd already put my camera away. I've seen this teenaged kid damaging sunflowers or stealing them as he passes by. He couldn't see that I was behind the trellis when he hopped over the neighbor's short wall and stole one of their sunflowers.
