Another "Whats that?"

Okay here's another one for you....can you identify this plant and is it edible?

Clue # 1- I have no idea what it is

Clue # 2 we are visiting our daughter Sarah and family in Indiana

Clue # 3 Adam is holding it in the first pic

Clue # 4 Charlie broke it in half (took quite a pounding)Clue # 5 its larger than a tennis ball

So come on what do you think it is and oh, by the way I have no idea so at this point in time you could tell me anything and I would have to take your word for it!!

Can you guess?

This little guy was hovering around my Ginger this AM at first I thought it was a hummingbird, but closer inspection proved me wrong! Can you guess what it is? Leave your answer in my comments. (I already figured it out)
