I find them every year on the butterfly bushes and Verbena bonariensis. I
was walking out of Franklin Park Conservatory years ago and saw my first
Clear wing moth on a beautiful plant. I ran in & got someone to id the plant
which is the verbena above. These moths are very, very tolerant if you try
to photograph them up close.Enjoy!

Subject: Re: [Ohio-birds] Hummingbird Moth
This is the first time I've posted. Hopefully I'm doing it correctly.
I have had numerous hummingbirds moths around since I developed my bird and
butterfly garden a few years ago. They seem to especially like bee balm and
butterfly bushes. These interesting insects hover just like hummingbirds.
