Snowberry Clearwing Moth: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, July 2022 \u2014 As I mentioned in yesterday\u2019s Day Poem\u2026when I went out for my eTrike ride the other day I was dumping my \u201cold\u2019 water from my water bottle in the hanging plants out front when I saw this Snowberry Clearwing Moth working the blooms. We have two possible Clearwings here in Southern Maine\u2026the Snowberry and the Hummingbird\u2026and I always have to look them up to refresh my memory after seeing one. Maybe one of those times the differences will stick in my head. (You can google it.) Both look, when working flowers, like tiny hummingbirds. Though references say the Hummingbird Clearwing is the more common of the two, I have definitely seen more Snowberries. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications and multi-fame noise reduction (definitely not needed in this situation\u2026but the camera was still in that mode when I grabbed it for the Clearwing\u2026and by the time I got it to the correct mode\u2026the moth was gone \ud83d\ude42 Nominal exposure ISO 200 @ f4 @ 1\/500th. <\/p>\n
