My husband send me this picture (http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/4ULqHtjorGbG_6NKIU9uZw?feat=directlink) from his phone. He said there's several of them flying around in the building he's doing work in (he's a plumber).

What the heck is it? It looks like something from a fantasy video game.

Maybe it'll grow up to be one of these (http://images.uulyrics.com/cover/s/saga/album-images-at-twilight.jpg).

I've seen some like this — and mistook them for hummingbirds! Some of those suckers are big.
