Elaine says 2008/07/09 at 1:53 PM Those wings just look so much like small butterfly wings to me. They don’t look strong enough to allow such a large insect to actually fly
Donna says 2008/07/09 at 9:28 PM It is an interesting moth to watch. The wings are moving almost constantly kind of like a hummingbird does. It darts about and uses it "tail fluff" to maneuver.
Elaine says 2008/07/10 at 4:04 PM That’s a moth? 😕 I would never have guessed as it looks more like part of the bee type family to me but then again I don’t study insects/bugs much at all. hehehe
Donna says 2008/07/11 at 8:55 PM You still noticed a clue that it might not be a bee, that its wings resembled butterfly wings. Scientific reasoning you have going on Elaine. =D
