Currant clearwing moth (Synanthedon tipuliformis), # 2553

At home

This intriguing little creature is a moth, though it doesn't look like what we typically think of when we think of moths! It is one of the aptly named 'clearwing moths', and this particular one is often found around currants and raspberries.
