Good day to you, too !

These moths fly during the day and hover at flowers while sipping nectar. There are 3 species of Hemaris in North Carolina. Snowberry Clearwings are in the family Sphingidae.

Enjoying the Phlox nectar, this is the first Strawberry Clearwing ( Hemeris diffinis ) spotted this season. Must have been hungry ... a tough one to keep up with !
