Hummingbird Clearwing Moth July 23, 2009
The hummingbird moths have been visiting the garden
often. They really enjoy the petunias. You can see
why they are called "clearwing" moths, as you can see the
pink of the petunia through the wings. I am looking
out of my window from my computer desk and see one on
the garden phlox.

They've been visiting my garden, too! They particularly seem to love my phlox! You're in VA--I'm dying to find out where-because I am too! In fact, there are quite a few Virginia-ers(!)blogging! I haven't yet met any of them, but plan to!
Great photos of the hummingbird clearwing! My last post has one on it, too! Have a great day!
Jan - I'm from Lynchburg. Know where that is?
Those moths are amazing, I haven't seen them before. Ant the flower photos on your last post are really pretty, I've just been catching up!
They really have a large body compared to their wings. The pictures are good. I can really see for myself how the wings are transparent in certain areas.
