Clearwing Hummingbird Moth

I was so fortunate today to come across both kinds of Hummingbird Moths at a butterfly garden.  These day-flying moths are only slightly larger than a bee and they flit from flower to flower, never really stopping so it becomes a real challenge to get a good shot, just the kind of challenge I love, even in the oppressive heat.   I have loaded up an extra of the Snowberry Hummingbird moth in flight.  I love their fur coats and lobster-shaped tails.  I had a hard time choosing which one to blip... so you get them both.  I had very few shots that showed their clear wings off nicely, even shooting at 1/2000th of a sec.
