Stopping to Sniff the Butterfly Bush

Rarely am I able to get a shot of the Snowberry Clearwing - they're faster than a hummingbird! Taken the other day - has rained since 9 this morning without stop and we have 4 more days of it. Ugh!

[Pam Knowler]

Wow what an amazing capture!

[Anne Pancella]

Well done! Are you going to be getting rain from the hurricane?

[Carole Sandford]

Terrific capture!

@annepann We're still showing right on the very outer edge as it is supposed to turn east when it gets up as far as western Arkansas. This continual rain is plenty!

This is an awesome shot- I've not heard of that name before. It looks like a hummingbird moth to me. fav

[Margaret Brown]

Beautiful, fav

[Milanie]

@olivetreeann they are similar but this moth doesn't have the stripes all the way down to the tail - the Clearwing has a yellow band before the tail
