Ripley and Katticus can get pretty intense when they wrestle. I don’t think either one of them realize what the other is capable of.
Hummingbird Moth
I was out and about this afternoon and ran into this guy on my butterfly bush. I believe it is a Snowberry Clearwing Hummingbird Moth. At first glance I thought it was a rather large bumblebee. I couldn’t get a good look at it’s wings as it never sat still long enough, preferring to hover while feeding like a hummingbird does. Using the flash on my digital camera, I was able to capture more detail.
