Clearwing Hummingbird Moth in My Garden

This is a Clearwing Hummingbird Moth. Captured him in my garden yesterday. They fly upright and, to the untrained eye, can look a bit like hummingbirds. They like the butterfly bush, I find them there all the time.

I love how you can see the pattern in his wings here.

I haven't been here in a very long time. Finally sold my house in Michigan and moved to Pennsylvania. I like it real well here. I've gotten very interested in photography these last couple years and I've decided to try something different. I'm going to post a few of my favorite photos here just for fun. All photos are copyrighted and I'd prefer you ask permission to copy and use.

So, to get started, here's a photo of a Monarch butterfly from my garden. We've seen more Monarchs this summer than we have in the past. I'm glad to see them. They like my tall Zinnias that I planted this year in the garden.

I'll try to post more in the future, but you know how it is, life gets hectic from time to time.

Thanks for stopping by.
