hummingbird moth

Hemaris Sp

Description:

I have a few different colored moths

Habitat:

Stream valley, lush garden, small town

Notes:

This year I had a resident female monarch butterfly defending my garden as her territory. First time I witnessed this type of behavior. She laid the last of her eggs and has gone.

Great spot Larry! Did you know they beat their wings 70 times a second?
I've moved this to arthropods for you & you might like to consider adding this to the Moths of the World, & Butterflies & Moths missions - http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/4989... http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8841...

You don't always see these in full light, so it is a good spotting!
