The 'clearwing' significance of its name is emphasized in this photo of a Clearwing Hummingbird Moth that was seen feeding on a yellow Devil's Paintbrush. The Transparency of the Moth's wings allowed the beautiful yellow of this wildflower to show through as you can see by the pictures included below.
Interesting!

I haven't had much time to get out and shoot this week, so here are a few oldies from '07-'09, taken with my old Kodak 6MP camera. Not sure what kind they are

We recently went to Stan Hywet Hall, home of the Seiberlings, in Akron, Ohio. They have a butterfly habitat with a Butterflies of North America exhibit and with a volunteer or employee to help and answer questions.
It is very interesting. They do warn people to watch where they are stepping. It is amazing how much the butterflies can withstand and still survive.
