I was thinking it might be one the clearwing / hummingbird moths, like maybe genus Hemaris , but I don't know. fly_girl The Woodlands, TX (Zone 8b)May 15, 2008 9:43 AM

I thought this guy was a lot smaller than a HM, even his wings are short. Maybe j_b could get a pic of it's face.

I don't think it can be a Bee-Fly, because I am almost sure I can see two pairs of wings. I think it is probably a bee of some sort,
