Beautiful pictures as always Sherry. I'm always amazed when I see these hummingbird moths. We don't seem to have them here but I see them in E WA at my sisters house. Lovely.
Won't the Hummingbird Clearwing make a beautiful card :-)
Gorgeous, as always.
Have a wonderful weekend ♥
Oh lucky you. I wouldn't mind having one here.
Thanks for the photos

Saw a beatiful hummer myself today. He fluttered (is that even a word?) from plant to plant and then zipped right off. A flash of color on a beautiful day.
I always want to pet these gorgeous bugs. They look so furry.
We had one of those at our butterfly bush the other day. They're so cool! :0)
Fabulous shots Sherry! The little beastie and the blossom are beautiful on their own, but together . . . ahhh! What camera do you use?
Wow, great shots Sherry! These are beautiful insects and not easy to capture in photographs!
wonderful...so glad you were able to see this beauty.
Sherry, you have just reminded me to deadhead my butterfly bushes as well. Thank you! I'm a terrible deadheader, I am. I love the clearwings. I haven't seen one in a very long time. I miss them! -Tammy
They are beautiful insects. A good reason to do some dead heading - a task I am always putting off till it is too late!
Sorry about the Anon comment - I pressed the wrong button before I did Name/Url - Duh!
Dear Sherry.....perfectly captured. They are extremely beautiful....I would so love to see one here but have never been lucky....one day.....
What is their food???
Thanks so much for posting the Clearwings! I love them very much but they do not live here so your photos are my only chance to see them once in a while.
Awww...I'm so envious~ I have tried so hard to get a good capture of the humingbird clearwings in my garden~I think they are even quicker than the hummers!~And just as beautiful, mysterious, and magical~don't you think..?! You~ have so many beautiful~perfect captures of it!!

He's cute! I've never seen one before, except in a magazine. You captured him so beautifully!
