A humming approach
Petals open, nectar mined
The wheel turns again

A closeup photo of a hummingbird clearwing moth hovering in front of a cluster of purple Buddleja (Butterfly Bush). The moth's green, red, and brown body is in sharp focus, while its rapidly beating wings are caught between beats.
Wings, a frozen blur
Search for potential sweetness
In blooms yet to yield

A Hummingbird Clearwing Moth with a fuzzy, pale tan thorax, black body, and dark, clear wings with reddish-orange borders hovers near a cluster of small purple butterfly bush flowers. Its long proboscis is extended in one of the tiny florets. The background is a soft, blurred mix of greens and purples.
Sweet scent entices,
Moth's quick wings draw it to bloom,
Nectar, life's pure sip.

A green and burgundy hummingbird clearwing moth (Hemaris thysbe) visits bee balm (Monarda fistulosa). The moth looks like a fuzzy flying lobster with long antennae and a curled proboscis.

A Hummingbird Clearwing Moth just arrived at pink Bee Balm, having successfully chased away the Eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly I was focused on. The background is blurred shades of green.
Plot twist - was aiming for a butterfly, but this feisty #HummingbirdClearwingMoth swooped in and chased it off. Managed to capture the unexpected drama a split second too late!

A light brown moth with reddish-brown markings and wings that are see-through with reddish-brown borders. Hovering like a hummingbird, it is feeding on summer lilac, near the top of a long cluster of lavender flowers.
