Wow..what a timing and about the same pics aswell!

I found out what they are..They are Humming bird Hawk moth

Sorry I cant name an exact species but its probably a species of the Clearwing moths, which would be from the subfamily Macroglossinae, which includes various sphinx and hawk moths. It is also probaably from the genus Hemaris, which includes the clearwing moths. From your picture I cannot tell because the body isnt very easy to see, but if you have a better picture or remeber you can look through pictures of the Hemaris species and see if you could find yours.

That looks like it may be Hemaris gracilis.
Nice pictures.

Seriously, I think they are called Humming Moths in laymans terms.

My friend who lives in Wyoming was telling me about them.
