Our apple trees are in bloom and the bees are a-buzzing like crazy. We should get a bumper apple crop this year.
While I was photographing the blossoms, something bigger than a bee buzzed past. At first I thought it was a hummingbird. Now I think it is some kind of moth. I've never seen it before. This is the best picture I got of it. It flew around like a hummingbird and was hard to capture.

I've seen those occasionally - once or twice a year - around our butterfly bush. I believe it is a Clearwing Hummingbird Moth although originally we called them "Lobster bugs" because of their body/tail reminding me of a lobster tail in it's shape.
I knew you would know what it was! And Lobster bug is a great name for them. They do look like flying lobsters.
i'm thinking mutant cicada.
