Early in the morning the other day, I was looking at the hibiscus bush in my yard, and on one of it's leaves, I happened to see a "Snowberry Clearwing Moth", not a bumble bee! These types of moths are also called "Hummingbird Moths". They tend to take flight during daylight, and some plants I know of that they like to visit would be, of course the Hibiscus Bush, Coral Honeysuckle, and a Butterfly Bush. They are common in North America. I wish I could have taken better photos, but the moth flew away soon after taking this. What can I say, I am happy with what I got :)

John - No apology needed - you captured this moth with excellent stop action on the wings. Kudos! Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine

As far as bugs go, this is a weird one. Looks like a bee, but not quite - I like that is has a poofy instead of a stinger ;) And actually, I think the angle of this makes it more interesting. Nice job.

I thought I had all the answers, but it turns out I don't even know the questions. -Stephen Prothero (paraphrased)
Very interesting! I've never seen a moth such as that. Wonderful capture and great detail :)
