Spanish:
Son caracteristicos los anillos medios del abdomen rojizos, seguidos de otros pardo-claro flanqueados de blancos para terminar en un mechon anal negro pero amarillento en el centro. Las alas son hialinas, aunque las venas, una mancha discal y una ancha banda marginal, son rojizas.

English:
Species Hemaris thysbe (Fabricius) -- common clear-wing, hummingbird moth, sphinx colibri
Hemaris thysbe, the Hummingbird Clearwing Moth or Common Clearwing (wingspan 38-50 mm), readily visits flowers by day.
Single-brooded Hemaris thysbe stock flies in June and July.
Females call in the males with a pheromone released from a gland at the tip of the abdomen.
Hummingbird Moths grow up to 5 cm long. They have an olive-green body with red bands across their abdomen. Tufts of hairs from the end of the abdomen look a lot like feathers. The wings of this moth are mostly clear, sometimes with some red near the body.
Hummingbird Moths live in fields, gardens, and forest edges.
