Big Congrats John. You got yourself a Hummingbird Clearwing. It's a moth

Thanks Donna, I just today saw him/her today, and I took several pics. It was really hard to get to settle down, but I got some good shots. John

Hey!! I think I saw one of these today also, on a blooming basil plant... mistook it for an odd looking bee as well. Cool!

(hey, the title is "critterologist" not "bug-ologist" LOL)

There are many Sphinx Moths...the Hummingbird moth is only one of a great number. The dasterdly Tomato Hornworm also turns into a Sphinx Moth, which is what Jackieshar's moth is.
