Common Clearwing (aka Hummingbird Moth)
This was a bit of an exercise in frustration - except that I really didn't care if I got any decent shots at the time. This is an instance where a different lens, a flash and not the absolute middle of the day might have made this easier, but there were a bunch of these guys on the Butterfly bush yesterday.
I wasn't really doing anything else except waiting for the Bluebirds to fledge, so I turned the cave around and tried to shoot these guys for a while.
