I first saw one of these last year on the azalea bushes out back. I thought for sure it was a wasp or bee because of its black and yellow coloring. I googled it and never found anything that looked similar. Fast forward a year, and I see my first Luna moth. While goggling 'funny looking moth' I came across a picture of a clearwing sphinx moth. I'd solved my mystery bug conundrum from last year and moved on with my life only to spot a second one days later. These guys are very fast and on some sites they are called hummingbird clearwing sphinx moths. It was hard to get a good shot, but here he is.
