You might mistake these small creatures for a bee at times...they are really fast and really like the butterfly bush and phlox
What a wonderful creature. I thought I saw one once for a split second. thank you for snapping that photo so we can see them better. I guess I am going to have to sit out by my butterfly bush.
Thank you ....I love to sit and watch them..if you take your eyes off of them they can easily be lost in the flowers...
Great photos. In the second photo you can really see it's "clearwings". I see them occasionally around here.
I don't know how you got such clear shots of such a fast moving creature sherry. I'm in awe of your photographic skills.
