Hummingbird Moth

[Hern]

We had a family cookout at our house this evening. After we eat we take a walk.
First stop was one of our Butterfly bushes.
Granddaughter spotted a Hummingbird Moth working over the blooms...




Second stop was a new Rabbit nest, I saw while mowing the other day, square in the middle of the back yard...




Rest of the walk was the usual Rabbits, Birds and stray Cat sightings.

Our Hummingbird Moth was a Snowberry Clearwing.

Neat pictures, when I was a kid living at home there were a lot of rabbits that would nest in our yard. One day I found three nests. Being a kid and exploring things. I went and looked at the three nests. I thought how neat it was that I could look at these little guys in the nest. Later that day a house cat went and killed every rabbit in all three of the nests I had looked at. The cat did not eat any just played with them, it looked like to me and killed them. I figured that my human sent from me handling these rabbit nest gave the house cat a sent reason to check them out too. There has been a lot of cats in the last 40 years that I have looked at differently since then.
