This has been a particularly good year for hummingbird moths (or hummingbird clearwings) to visit my backyard.
The first photo is typical of summer during July and August: Bright light makes for easy photography.
By September, sunlight in my backyard is at a minimum, but the lighting creates its own dramatic effect for a hummingbird moth, especially with the light that catches the hummingbird moth’s wings.
September marks the end of the hummingbird moth season (for my backyard), and so I look forward to their returning next summer.
