Re: [Maine-birds] ID help needed

I agree with Tony. We had our usual yearly visit from a clearwing here a few days back.

Remember this beautiful creature when you find hornworms in the garden. For this and the other hawkmoths are what they will turn into! 

I enjoy having them around just as much as hummingbirds.

Ours was a Diervilla Clearwing (Hemaris aethra)

The creature in these photos taken in Troy this (June 27) afternoon was
about the size of a June bug, and for a few seconds our eyes were trying
to make an insect out of it. I cannot find any pictures of hummingbirds
that resemble this. Thanks for any help.
