"A few days ago we had some new visitors enjoying our white lilac bush," wrote Mary Pandrea in sharing this Best Shot of a beautiful Snowberry Clearwing Hummingbird Moth. "Though I've lived here in Pack River Valley for 60 plus years, I had to do some research to identify what they were.  The U of I Extension Office in Bonners Ferry was able to do just that when I sent them the photo I had taken. These moths are beneficial pollinators and fun to observe as they hover in front of flowers to drink the nectar very much like a hummingbird, but much smaller. And they are new to Idaho."
