Hummingbird Moth – 199/365

Here’s an interesting little creature that we spotted in the garden recently… it’s called a snowberry clearwing . It does resemble a hummingbird in a lot of ways, but apparently it’s just a very flamboyant . I had never seen something like this before until my wife pointed it out to me.

    Mmm, awesome, we have those in Bulgaria :) First time I saw it I thought “wow, who let a hummingbird out around here?!??” :) But it’s weird you have them in the States, they’re supposedly a European thingy :)
