A Clearwing Hummingbird Moth
The 'clearwing' significance of its name is emphasized in these photos of a Clearwing Hummingbird Moth that was seen feeding on a yellow Devil's Paintbrush. The Transparency of the Moth's wings allowed the beautiful yellow of this wildflower to show through as you can see by the pictures included below.
Have a wonderful rainy, Father's Day everyone!

Good morning, Awesome sighting of the Clearwing! They are beautiful. Great shots. Have a happy day and new week ahead!
Beautiful shots! I captured one recently too at the Lobelia and didn't realize it had clear wings. When I went back to the photos I can see the blue through the wings. I've never captured one up close before as they move so fast.
Great shots of this little cutie.
