Snowberry Clearwing
Hemaris diffinis

Observation date: July 18, 2023
Submitted by: LlamaJ37
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I'm always fascinated by the hummingbird clear wing and the snowberry clear wing. I have an enormous garden and I'm always looking for anything new, different or anything that is just downright amazing. One evening I went to my garden and on a Lucifer for cosmia frond I found these two snowberry clear wings mating. I'm always excited when I find something as rare and beautiful as these two beautiful moths!
