This is about the size of a hoverfly & after searching Google for some time, I could not find anything even close to a match. I couldn't get very close, so it is heavily cropped, thus losing some detail. Downloading is recommended.

I’ve no clue what it is but that is one cool looking bug.
Nice capture.

Wow! That is the very,very rare flying yellow lobster!
Nice catch Earl. I think it is clear wing moth of some kind.

Nice one, Earl and think Donna is on the correct track, as it's body shape and wings somewhat resemble our clearwing moths.

Really nice shot, Earl. I love finding strange new things to shoot. You sure did in this case.
