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 :)
