Hummingbird clearwing moth (Hemaris thysbe)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

Although commonly called by the above name, this moth is also known more accurately as the hummingbird sphinx. It is in the Sphingidae family, or sphinx moths, not a true clearwing moth (Sesiidae family). Here, this one is nectaring on Monarda.
