Hi Isabelle....thanks for checking this out. I'm not on this site much any more, at least not compared to the way it was 8-10 years ago!

Hello and how are you ? As always stunning capture of this beauty:)

Description
The Hummingbird Clearwing is a day-flying moth. The wings have clear sections and it flies a bit like a small hummingbird, hence its name. I photographed this as it was sipping nectar from Teasel, a non-native bristly type plant found in disturbed open areas.
