Snowberry Clearwing Hummingbird Moths (Hemaris thysbe)

---

The Snowberry Clearwing Moth is a small hummingbird moth which more closely resembles a large bumblebee rather than a hummingbird. Like other hummingbird moths, this one flies during daylight. A similar, but larger, sphinx moth is the (Hemaris thysbe) Hummingbird Clearwing Moth. Which plants does it visit most often in my garden? Coral honeysuckle and butterfly bush.
