Hummingbird Clearwing moth I have never seen a Hummingbird moth before I took this photo. Very much a highlight of my photo expedition to Patuxent Research Refuge. I was almost afraid to breathe as I didn’t want to scare it away. It’s about half the size of a Ruby-throated hummingbird and systematically went from plant to plant and got within a foot of where I was standing. #hummingbirdmothsofinstagram #hummingbirdclearwingmoth #naturephotography #insectsofinstagram #mothsofinstagram #sonya7iii #sonyfe200600g #patuxentresearchrefuge (at Patuxent Wildlife Refuge, Odenton, MD) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiTxZkHjsuu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And just like that, I managed to capture the wings of this hummingbird clearwing moth (Hemaris thysbe) outstretched with very little noticeable motion blur! The wings lack scales in places giving them their 'clear' appearance. These moths can be mesmerizing to watch & are great pollinators as well. As they zip about gathering nectar, pollen clings to their bodies which they transfer from flower to flower. . #hummingbirdmoth #hummingbirdclearwingmoth #mothsofinstagram #hummingbirdmothsofinstagram #instamoths #instahummingbirdmoths #nature #amazingnature #wonderfulnature #natureisfun #natureisamazing #naturephotography #canonphotography #inmyyard https://www.instagram.com/p/CEKnG2_pEyz/?igshid=afft8eayvjgt

This freshly eclosed Hemaris thysbe (Hummingbird Clearwing) still has the scales covering its entire wing. As soon as it flies, those scales will be knocked off revealing the see through part of the wings where this moth got its name. These day flying moths can be quite common on flowers this time of year and continuing on until September in the northeast.

I spent an hour at Hildacy Farm Preserve yesterday trying to get a photograph that had both a bumblebee and a snowberry clearwing moth (a bumblebee mimic), but all I could manage was a bumblebee next to a hummingbird clearwing moth (Hemaris thysbe). But I’m still posting because it’s a moth, and it’s National Moth Week.
