A clear wing hummingbird moth.  Sometimes called a hawk moth it's actually a type of spinx moth.
The wings are very transparant.

What an amazing picture.  Well Done!!

Beautiful, Jim.  I've never heard of a moth with transparent wings.

Thanks Judy.

They have scales like most moths but the rapid beating of the wings wear them off leaving only the transparent wing. I wasn't fond of the shot, but it showed the wings so well I thought I'd make the post.

So good to see you posting some Jeanne! You be sure to take life easy until you are back to "tip top". Don't want to loose you for longer than necessary. And if you pull another stunt like that, well............

Jim, I've been assured the same thing can't happen again.  There's no more appendix to burst!
