I don't remember whether or not the moths are immune to the Radiance's infection, but I'm going to err on the side of them not being immune. Hemari here certainly isn't, and he's lucky he's got a friend by his side now to help him snap out of it...otherwise this could get Bad...

I was requested to paint a small wooden box by a friend. It's not overly complicated, but I think it turned out alright.

Snowberry clearwings are absolutely breathtaking, you'd think as I live close to the main area they are (Chesapeake Bay region) I'd have seen them more, and to be fair I likely have, however these guys are fast and good at their camouflage, I am determined to catch them in better quality sometime

I have more Hollow Knight OCs than just Lissome now! Okay, so more based on other bug Pokemon, but still! Bombily is a beefly based on Ribombee, and they are a little ray of sunshine. Meanwhile Hemari, based on Frosmoth, is a big ol' grumpy man with some deep-seated guilt that causes him to push people away. Unluckily, or perhaps luckily, for him Bombily does not let people push them away so easily and they're determined to melt his frosty exterior c:

(btw Bombily uses they/she pronouns, but "they" is more common for them so they'll be referred to as such more often, and while I've considered he/it for Hemari I'm still working it over in my mind if "it" really works for him so for now just stick with "he" for him)

Snowberry Clearwing Moth (Hemaris diffinis)

It's that time of year where Hemaris start to make an appearance! They absolutely love Monarda!

[onenicebugperday]

I have a bug to submit! I'm in Maine!

A cutie! As it says, it's probably Hemaris diffinis, the snowberry clearwing. A clearer photo of it sitting still would rule out a similar species, Hemaris thysbe. That species has red abdominal bands rather than black and the ones in your photo look black!

Moth of the Week

Hummingbird Clearwing Moth

Hemaris thysbe

The hummingbird clearwing moth is a part of the family Sphingidae or the hawkmoth family and was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775. The name Hemaris Thysbe is thought to be a reference to Thisbe, one of the doomed lovers in Ovid's Metamorphoses, due to the color of Thisbe’s blood-stained scarf and the maroon color of the moth. Additionally, the name hummingbird clearwing is due to the humming noise created by the rapid flapping of the moth’s transparent wings.

Description The hummingbird clearwing moth typically has an olive green and maroon back with a white or yellow and maroon underside. It has pale legs and no stripes, which is how you tell this moth apart from other in its genus, Hemaris. Its wings are transparent with a maroon border. After hatching, the hummingbird clearwing’s wings are a fully opaque dark red to black. Then the wing’s scales fall off when the moth takes flight, resulting in a clear wing with maroon borders and visible veins. However, a moth’s color and wing patterning varies between individual moths. For example, moths born in the south or later in the mating season are darker in color, and different populations have varying wing border shapes.

Average wingspan of 4.75 cm (≈1.9 in)

Up to 70 wingbeats per second

Can fly up to 12 mph (≈19.3 kph)

Diet and Habitat When in their caterpillar stage, these moths eat the leaves of cherry trees, European cranberry bushes, hawthorns, dogbane, honeysuckle, and snowberry bushes. Adult hummingbird moths feed on the nectar from flowers such as the Wild Bergamot and beebalm, red clovers, lilacs, phloxs, snowberry, cranberry, blueberry, vetch and thistle. The hummingbird clearwing prefers purple and pink flowers. They use their long proboscis or feeding tube to collect nectar from the flowers while flying in front of it like a hummingbird.

The average proboscis is 20 mm (≈0.8 in)

These moths are the most common in southern Ontario and the eastern United States. Their habitat ranges from Alaska to Oregon in the west and from Newfoundland to Florida in the east. They migrate northward from April to August and southward in late spring and the fall. They inhabit forests, meadows, and suburban gardens.

Mating The hummingbird clearwing has two broods a year in the south, but only one in the north. Mating takes place in May and June as females attract males with pheromones produce from glands at the tip of the abdomen. Female hummingbird moths will lay 200 eggs that will hatch in only 6 to 8 days.

Predators Hummingbird moths and caterpillars in general are hunted by birds, mantids, spiders, bats. To help protect themselves, these types of moths resemble hummingbirds or bees to fool predators.

Fun Fact Adults hummingbird clearwing moths are most active during the hottest parts of the day and have no hearing abilities due to a lack of “hearing organs.”
