Hummingbird Clearwing moth

Your photo is of the Hummingbird clearwing moth.
Adults feed actively on flower nectar during the day while hovering (look like small hummingbirds-hence the name) at blossoms. Larvae feed on hawthorn, honeysuckle, snowberry, viburnum.
These moths are found from Alaska through central and eastern North America.
Great find!
