Description:

Snowberry Clearwing Hummingbird Moth in Suffield, Connecticut

Notes:

On my way out the door to work on Friday, I spotted this little guy visiting my calibrachoa and petunia potted plants on the porch...much like the name suggests, it behaved like a "hummingbird", flitting from flower to flower. This was the best I could do on my smartphone!
