Snowberry Clearwings Mating
Your web site has been very helpful to me in identifying insects. In fact, I was able to identify these mating Snowberry Clearwings from your site. You mentioned it is difficult to get sharp photos of Clearwings, so I thought I’d send you this one which does have one set of wings and their joined bodies quite clear. If you think it is worth while, you may post it on your site. The photo was made in southeastern Iowa on a butterfly bush on August 17, 2006.

Hi Lora,
We are trying to post some older letters this morning, and your photo is quite lovely. We had to crop and rotate it to take advantage of the allowable space. Thank you.
