Hummingbird Moth (Clearwing Moth)
June 7, 2022
Observed while enjoying the hot tub.
Boylston, MA
It's easy to mistake a hummingbird moth for a tiny hummingbird. It feeds on the nectar of flowers, hovering with the body stationary, its transparent wings beating so fast as to be nearly invisible,. In flight, the wings create a soft buzzing, like a hummingbird.
The hummingbird clearwing moth is the most commonly seen in Massachusetts. It has an olive back a red-brown abdomen and pale legs.

Birthday Roses in Massachusetts
Jenny ordered 3 bare root roses (from Jackson and Perkins) to celebrate the Twin A/Twin B birthday this year. She says they are very pokey, danger ankle biters. Colours are variations of coral, orange, pink and yellow. Names are Peace Hybrid Tea Rose, Catalina Grandilfora Rose and Cabna Hybrid Tea Rose.
Planted in a sunny garden.
Catalina Grandiflora Rose

This Red Rose was supposed to be a Catalina Grandiflora Rose but? not quite the right color? Catalina Roses are either Yellow or Salmon Pink
Maybe we can call it a Canadian Catalina?
