Snowberry Clearwing Sphinx Hummingbird Moths
The Snowberry Clearwing Moth is a small hummingbird moth which more closely resembles a large bumblebee rather than a hummingbird.
Like other hummingbird moths, this one flies during daylight. A similar, but larger, sphinx moth is the (Hemaris thysbe) Hummingbird Clearwing Moth.
Which plants does it visit most often in my garden? Coral honeysuckle and butterfly bush. [via]
Check out the adorable pictures of it as a baby. This caterpillar reminds me so much of the Alice in Wonderland caterpillar. They also resemble tomato hornworms.
