Hummingbird Clearwing Moth


This little hummingbird clearwing moth has been feasting on our flowers. They just love our phlox and monarda (aka: bee balm, oswego tea, bergamot). I'm always so thrilled to see them!

Their larvae (caterpillars) feed on host plants such as cherry and plum trees, honeysuckle, hawthorns, snowberry, and cranberry bushes. --LKR
