Hemeris diffinis
A thrilling creature to behold. You think it's a Bumblebee before yet, but it's a hovering moth. Male an inch or so. Female easily four inches.
Usually near its host Snowberry. Comes to Buckeye blossoms in California.
In the net to show people on my Butterfly walk in SUNOL Regional Wilderness.
