At first I thought I was looking at a yellowjacket, but quickly realized the body was too thick and too long. It was, in fact, a raspberry crown borer moth, a new addition for the FWG moth list. I managed to get a shot of this extraordinary moth as it hid between two goldenrod leaves in the old field. It is closely associated with wild raspberries (of which there are many in the old field), and wild blackberries. This moth is in the Sesiidae family, the Clearwing Moths.
