OK, I know absolutely NOTHING about moths or butterflies. I do know I have a Clearwing Hummingbird Moth....

What does this mean?
Flight: . Two broods in the south from March-June and August-October, one brood in the north from April-August.

Does it mean they die after or do they move on? Are these the same 2 as last year? I don't think so but thought I'd ask maybe someone else will know. I don't grow any of the plants listed as caterpillar hosts but I do have over 2 acres of blueberries which is an adult food. I haven't seen them in the blueberries yet though....only in the garden.

Here is a shot last year of one that liked my daylilies. Last year was the first year I had ever noticed one.
