Hummingbird Clearwing
Hemaris thysbe

Observation date: July 31, 2021
Submitted by: Erika.s88
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Bright sunny day with a temp in the 70's I believe. It looked and moved exactly like a hummingbird. It moved about the perrenial flowers in a large outdoor nursery along side many other pollinators. Decent sized moth; stood out immediately. Transparency to the wings! Absolutely amazing!
