Just in case...


Nothing says "I've commandeered your photo" like straddling an AC unit.

'Cause she totally knew she was in the photo. Otherwise this would be embarrassing...

Nice shot.

It's not a bumblebee, it's Hemaris diffinis, a bumblebee moth.
I posted this on several websites, and everywhere that it appears, someone corrects me. This makes me wonder how many people know about this obscure bug, and whether I have ever seen an actual bumblebee in my life or whether they were all this critter.

Here's the photo again. If you didn't know this was a moth and saw how FAST it flies, would you call it a bumblebee?
