Cindy, this morning as I was out and about in my yard, I noticed a bug flying around some of my flowering herbs. I walked over to it,thinking it was a yellow jacket bee, but as I got closer to it I saw that the head and front "arms"looked like a butterfly,soft and fluffy looking. The body was quiet like a yellow jacket but it was longish with 2 black stripes on it. What was it???

Here's a couple of seemingly good resources that you might want to try, Angel. Hope this helps.

What bug is this?

Here's a website with a picture of the Snowberry Clearwing Hummingbird Moth. They are VERY COOL.

Thats it !!!!! Thank You ! I dont remember if I have ever seen a hummingbird moth before. It was pretty, but different. How long do they stay around ? I knew if I wanted a quick answer,someone here would provide it. Thanks to all . Big Grin
