Picture of the Day for August 21, 2014

While yesterday’s zinnias are pretty, the hummingbirds and insects might like other varieties of flowers better for nectar. The hummingbird clearwing, a moth in the Sphingidae family, liked these blue flowers as it was zipping around the flowers yesterday. The hummingbird clearwing can vary in color from the olive green and burgundy on its back.
