Camera Critters - Hummingbird Clearwing-Sphinx Moth

I've never seen these before until I planted my butterfly bush. Which, the butterfly bush is doing it's job. I've seen a yellow, brown and an orange butterfly now on it. I will post those photos later. They say that most people will mistake these moths for either a hummingbird or a bumble bee. I said the same thing. It's a cross between a hummingbird because they suck nectar out of the plant like they'd do, although they are small but a little bigger than a bumble bee and kind of look like one. I've found out through the Internet, they are called Hummingbird Clearwing. There are variations. I think mine is called the Sphinx Moth. To see more and clearer photos, click on the link after these photos. The site goes into more detail and they have close up photos. It was hard for me to get a really good photo of them.

Sky Watch Friday - Bellefonte Court House

Not much going on with this sky, but looking straight up the street in front of you, you can see the court house. I was standing by the park when I took this photo.
