Buzzz.....
Here is one of the most amazing creatures...
The Snowberry Clearwing Hummingbird Moth.
I took this picture while I was out in Massachussetts a couple of years ago. When I first saw it buzzing around the flowers I thought it was an actual hummingbird... it was about the same size and moved exactly like one.
I couldn't believe it was a moth... don't those flutter around the porch lights in the evening?!??! This thing was out in the heat of the day... feeding off the flowers and had the imitation of the hummingbird down to an art!
It took a few shots to get a decent picture.... they are fast little buggers!!
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Great picture! We have hummingbird moths in Arkansas, too. They look just like the one in the picture, but I really don't know if they are the same or not.
Awesome photo. I've been buzzed by one of these before but never knew exactly what it was. Now I know, thanks to you.
You managed to get an amazing picture.
I came back to look at your hummingbird moth. I actually thought I was returning to look at a hummingbird. Great Picture, neat creature.
