Hemaris diffinis

Observation date: August 10, 2013
Date notes: Lincoln County WV
Submitted by: Angelabugs
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The Snowberry Clearwing is very similar to other larger clearwing hummingbird moths. The Snowberry is small and resembles a bumblebee more than a hummingbird but the larger clearwing moths look so much like a hummingbird that it can take a second look for an experienced bird watcher.
