"What is this bug?" I asked. In mid-August I took a picture of this thinking it was a bee. However, when I got home and downloaded my photos, I looked closely and realized it didn't have a stinger, like most bees. I asked a colleague at Averett if she knew what it is. She said that that is a "bee moth" or a "humming-bird moth." Whatever it is, it is very pretty. Each day on the Riverwalk I see something I have never seen before. This is just on of those unique creatures I have seen while observing the beauty of nature.
