August 2011 This Hummingbird Clearwing moth was captured at the English Gardens in Winnipeg. The Hummingbird Clearwing is a member of the family Sphingidae, the sphinx moths. It can be identified partly by the fact that it is active during the day where most other members of the family are nocturnal or active at night. It is also one of the smaller members of the family with a wing span of 4 to 5.5 cm. The wings are clear in the centre and have a broad brown border.

Real dried insect Ayuthia spectabilis white ghost cicada. The specimen you will be receiving is dried, wrapped in plastic and secured onto cardboad. They have a wingspan between 4.9-5.3”. They can be hydrated and spread further/ more precisely or used as-is for your collection, art project, scientific studies, educational purposes, frames, displays, etc. A grade specimens were imported by me as A1 quality. However, I cannot guarantee they arrive with antennae, legs, or without minor imperfections from flight wear. Insects are extremely fragile and caution should be taken when opening and handling. B grade specimens (craft grade) may have noticeable imperfections such as: missing antennas, detached limbs, torn wings, greasy abdomens, uneven wing positioning or other imperfections. They come at a discounted price accordingly. Great for practice, craft and educational purposes. Also specimens can be degreased by soaking in solvent. There are many forums online that describe insect degreasing methods. These insects are sustainably sourced, farm raised, and ethically collected. Insect farming worldwide helps to preserve their natural habitat from deforestation and commercial farming practices; this in turn promotes more habitat for insect procreation therefore maintaining populations of all species of flora and fauna on the protected land. By farming insects on protected land, locals in these areas are able to make a fair wage while simultaneously preventing deforestation. Clover Butterfly Co has a Usfws permit to import insects legally into the USA from suppliers around the world. We encourage buyers to purchase insects from Usfws permit holders. These permits are necessary to ensure sustainable practices and help protect vulnerable wildlife populations. Clover Butterfly Co does not condone unethically or unsustainably sourced insects that decrease natural populations. None of my photos have been edited- those are it’s true colors, just depends on the lighting. Most ghost cicadas are very similar; however there may slight variations in each as no two specimens are totally identical- variations include wingspan, abdomen shape, color brightness, etc. Please see all photos for details. A ruler is in one photo for a size reference. These photos are owned by Clover Butterfly Co and not to be used without written permission.

The same moth, just a bit more zoomed out. Helps with better DOF, loses a touch of detail, and a lot of composition. Moth was hanging from our dirty kitchen window so needed some Lightroom treatment. See the before/after Lightroom pic here.
