Nessus sphinx, Amphion floridensis necturing on Dame's Rocket,
June 19, Julie Singleton, English Settlement Road - near Taymouth, NB.
Julie writes, "There is lots of Virginia Creeper near our house, as
well as a grape that we have been trying to get to grow for several
years. We also start cayenne and other hot peppers annually - so
there is no shortage of food around our property."
Hummingbird Clearwing, Hemaris thysbe, Bev England (August 7, 2005, Quispamsis) writes, "I thought you would like to see one of the pictures I took at the pond this Sunday......a hummingbird moth."
