Hummingbird Moth

http://www.gregburt.com/blogimages/2006/06/moth-thumb.jpgSo, I'm a nature geek. I was outside today taking pictures of bees around the flowers in the garden in front of my house and saw this guy flying around. At first, I thought it was an enormous bee, but when I got to see it flying around it was obvious that it wasn't a bee. Turns out it's called a Snowberry Clearwing Hummingbird Moth. I've seen these things before, but this is the first time I saw one when I had my camera in my hand.

I'm not all that thrilled with the quality of the photo, but it's the only shot I was able to get of this bug today and I wanted to share it with everyone.

Upcoming photo projects that I will show off on this site:
* New England Patriots training camp
* Bash Bish Falls (in southwestern Massachusetts)
* Boston
* Boston Harbor Lighthouses
* New York City
