Hi – enjoying your web site. I took this picture today and was doing research trying to determine what it is. It looks like a hummingbird clearwing moth. Could you please confirm? Thanks,
Judy in Loudon TN.

Hi Judy,
You are correct. This is a Hummingbird Clearwing Moth. We get many photos requesting identification of Hummingbird Clearwings, and we post so few as many are blurry. Yours is exceptional and we are happy to be able to replace the image that has been on our homepage for several weeks now.
