I’d say that’s it.

If you look closely at the enlarged photo, at the far end of the grub, you'll notice what looks like a thick black torn sticking out the end of it. What the hell is that? A distinguishing feature to say the least. Maybe some kind of stinger. Any ideas? The mystery grub.

By the way...Jody is correct. That does look like an Alien finger. The up-side-down fingernail was a dead give away. Way to go Jody. You guys crack me up. OH! By the way…Jody is correct.

I've seen a few Hummingbird type Hawk Moths around my flowerbeds too. Then I noticed that Ashley had to bring those 75 cent words into the comments section, words like "lepidoptera" and "Sphingidae." I'd pay to have someone pronounce the word "Sphingidae" for me. Then I followed the link Ashley provided and saw a reference to the "Death-head Moth" and that reminded me of The Silence of the Lambs movie and I got so spooked, I couldn't think about moths any longer, so I shut down and just shuddered and chilled out.

Fabulous animals easily mistaken for hummingbirds if not observed carefully. That is destined to become my favorite lepidoptera: sphinx moth (goes by other names too).

Yes, I know what alien fingers look like. Looks like an alien finger, with the nail there at the bottom.
