Found a fluffy little moth who really wants us to think she's a big scary bee (you can tell bc she still got the moth antennae 😍)
Also she's sitting on what is currently my favorite fig so far for NC, Chicago Hardy.
@sarahtaber narrow-bordered bee hawk-moth (hemaris tityus), I think!

@gsuberland @sarahtaber North Carolina, USA would be out of its range. It's probably a Hemaris diffinis. In Indiana, we've always called it a hummingbird bee moth.
@lwriemen @sarahtaber ah, good catch. I forgot to check the location!
