There are so many!<BR/>We watched a giant moth last night fly back and forth across the street. We were concerned it would get hit by a car as it was flying so low. Huge too! <BR/>It finally went into the cemetery.<BR/>I looked about this morning for her but never found her.<BR/>Her wing spread must have been 6-8 inches across. As big as a Bat I would say.<BR/>The Faeries would have a fun ride on the Snowberry. They are fast and pretty.<BR/>On moth wings,<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-38113214579472050272007-07-29T01:18:00.000-05:002007-07-29T01:18:00.000-05:00*****Dear Sherry,These are beautiful creatures, th...*****<BR/><BR/>Dear Sherry,<BR/><BR/>These are beautiful creatures, they feel like a cross between a bumblebee and a hummingbird. <BR/><BR/>Faeries must have a delightful time riding like the wind with these precious ones.<BR/><BR/>Oh, I am so delighted!<BR/><BR/>*spriteSpritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02290690198432619341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-85429998380905269812007-07-28T16:38:00.000-05:002007-07-28T16:38:00.000-05:00Hi Mary C,I looked at the range map for Snowberry ...Hi Mary C,<BR/>I looked at the range map for Snowberry Clearwings and I think they are in your area!<BR/>Their latin name, Hemaris diffinis, may help you in researching them. You might find them nectaring along side Bumble Bees.<BR/>Many of the Hummingbird moths are also called Hawk Moths or Sphnix Moths. It is a large family. They all are very wonderful.<BR/>The Clearwings are fast flyers. They hover like the Hummingbirds.<BR/>Hope you get to see them.<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-27840055137518661032007-07-28T10:58:00.000-05:002007-07-28T10:58:00.000-05:00These are such fascinating critters, Sherry.

So, thank you for sharing and for teaching me about these kinds of moths.Mary Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077077785157768787noreply@blogger.com
