Hummingbrid moths


This past year I had some interesting pollinators around my flower garden. I had no clue where they came from until now.

Clearwing or hummingbird moths' host plants are honeysuckle, snowberry, cherry, and plum native trees and shrubs. 




Have you ever seen hummingbird moths in your yard? 

A gardener I follow on Youtube made a video about these amazing moths and you can watch it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BboAytEJaY

You can learn more about them by the links below.
