I am over 50 and born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, and I have never seen a night pollinating moth. But tonight a moth almost the size of an Anna's hummer was pollinating my Valerian, in the dark. Silent, hovering above each flower, (at quite a distance so it must have a really long tongue)! Does anyone know if there are a lot of moths in this area that behave this way, or just a few?
