Hi Travis,

Nice photo! That is Hemaris diffinis also known as Snowberry Clearwing and sometimes called bee moth. you can see more photos at link below. All the clearwings are very neat moths! The hummingbird moth Hemaris thysbe is often mistaken for a baby hummingbird!

>>Thanks for the information!

The one in the photo is the one commonly called the Snowberry clearwing. There is another one that people like to call the bumblebee. You can usually tell the two apart .. the snowberry has that wine red and yellow color and the bumblebee the black and yellow.
