About
Published on Oct 3, 2013 My Blog: http://www.littlelivesthroughmylenses.wordpress.com/ These are clips I captured of what I am pretty sure is a Hummingbird Clearwing Moth (Hemaris thysbe) which was feeding on Bee Balm flowers at the wildflower reserve at Raccoon Creek State Park in Hookstown, Pennsylvania. I slowed the clips down so that you can really see the moth. They dart around so quickly, like hummingbirds! |
