I have seen these identified as Winterberry Clearwing Moths... more commonly called a Hummingbird Moth. I have them all over the place here in rural Western New York. They truly are delightful little creatures!

Good capture! I saw something similar to this at the USF Botanical Gardens this past weekend but was never able to get close enough to take a picture. Wasn't sure if it was a bug or a small bird!

Is that what the moth is? I have a few pictures of one, and couldn't figure out what it was. Thanks! Nice capture too!
