Hummingbird clearwing moth (Hemaris thysbe),#7853

Larose Forest. I had forgotten how large these moths are compared to the much smaller Snowberry clearwing that comes out in early spring. This is a bumblebee mimic.

Nice clear detail on the wings and all over. I don't think I've come across this moth at rest too many times.
