~Bumblebee Sphinx Moth~

Bumblebee Sphinx Moth also known as a Snowberry Clearwing Hummingbird Moth (Hemaris diffinis) on a Texas Thistle (Cirsium texanum).

 

I finally found time to sneak out and take a few nature shots this morning ~ I noticed several Texas Thistles growing in a field so I stopped to take a few shots. It was a wonderful surprise when a Bumblebee Sphinx Moth showed up to enjoy the thistles too.
