Wordless Wednesday: Hummingbird Moth
Almost wordless: I planted a patch of Bee Balm in my garden to attract hummingbirds. So far, no hummingbirds but lots of bees. A few days ago a Hummingbird Clearwing, which is actually a moth, stopped by for some nectar.

Beautiful shot of the Clearwing. They are as tough, or maybe even tougher to capture than an actual hummingbird.

I’ve never seen one of these moths before! When I first saw the picture, I couldn’t figure out if it was a bee, a moth, or a hummingbird, but it almost looks like a collaboration of all three!

Great picture! I actually came across one years ago. In England, I’m not sure what bush it was near, but it looked so much like a hummingbird, that I emailed the local bird association to ask whether it really could have been one. They suggested it was a moth. An amazing animal!

I asked my husband to plant some butterly plants to attract them, but I have never heard of a hummingbird moth! It amazes me not only what you can photograph but what you know!
