Hemaris thysbe
(Hummingbird Clearwing) on giant ironweed at the Belle Isle Nature Center last summer. It was a good year for butterflies and moths, or at least for me finding them. The hummingbird moths were zipping around, usually obscured by other plants or flowers so I was happy to get this dorsal view with its wings extended and mostly frozen.
