I just saw one in my yard GEORGEOUS!
by: Belinda

I just saw the clear wing moth sipping on my potted wave petunia. I tried to get a pic but only had a cell phone so "she" is hard to see. My husband regularly sits on our porch and tells me he sees him 2-3 times everyday1 What a beautiful delicate creature! Wish I had a real camera.

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!
