Yellow and black striped moth with clear wings that are edged in brown.
These bugs like to inhabit areas where fruit trees are found.
We have a mini-fruit orchard. It makes sense to find one here.
Lat: 35.11, Long: -106.65

thank you very much, I will check out the clear winged moth site.
Beautiful spotting! It looks like a moth to me as well! Great mimicry. I would check out the Clearwing Moths (Family Sesiidae): http://bugguide.net/node/view/161/bgpage...
It has a moth-like appearance to me. Wonderful spotting.
