I think that this is another hummingbird clearwing moth. If not, let me know. Thought you might like to have this pic. Thanks,

Hi Carol,
Thanks for the photo. It appears to be a Hummingbird Clearwing Moth, Haemorrhagia thysbe, but it is impossibl to be sure from your photograph. It might be a closely related species.

This pic shows a different angle of the same bug. Maybe it will help to identify it.

Our best guess is Haemorrhagia axillaris, the summer form of the Snowberry Clearwing.
