The hummingbird moth Hemaris diffinis or Snowberry Clearwing was enjoying our Clammy Weed a couple months ago. I previously posted about a white lined hummingbird moth on the Stachys coccinea and this is a similar but very different type. The distinctive yellow and black markings make it easy to see why it is called the Bee Hawk moth in Europe. This is the first and only time I've seen this type of hummingbird moth in my garden. They are about three inches long, so they are quite a sight to behold as they nectar on flowers.
