Is this a new creature?

From 8/15/09 just before sunset. This is Ocean Beach on Fire Island in New York state. It looks like a bee crossed with a shrimp.

Snowberry Clearwing Moth
Hi Marc,
It appears as though many folks are spending the winter months trying to get identifications for some of the insects in their summer photographs. This is a Snowberry Clearwing Moth or Bumblebee Moth, Hemaris diffinis, and you may read up on it on Bill Oehlke’s excellent website.
