Two snowberry clearwing moths (Hemaris diffinis) laid back and loving our
patch of bee balm at noon today, followed by a hummingbird clearwing moth
(Hemaris thysbe) that was more frenetic in its visits to bee balm and purple
coneflowers.

 

btw - I collected 4 snowberry caterpillars weeks ago from our trumpet
honeysuckle (bluebird found the 5th one and fed it to its nestlings) and
they are currently pupating on our screened porch. Should see the first one
eclose any day now...
