Snowberry Clearwing

or what we refer to as the Bumble Bee Hummingbird Moth



These little fellas, like the Goldfinch, are right on time to enjoy the elegant dining of our stunning looking and sweet smelling Butterfly bushes! The butterflies, moths and bees also are enjoying these flowering bushes, along with the Phlox, Black-eyed Susan's and Coneflowers.



We also have oodles of the Hummingbird Hawk-moth too, which are an orange/burnt orange color and equally as cool looking. Emilie is enjoying the challenge of seeing how many times she can net these fast beauties - and she's doing pretty good so far.

Ah, it's a great time to get outside, sit and watch the birds and insects do their thing!
