CLOSED: Some sort of bee I think
Could be a species of hummingbird moth.

Sometimes they're referred to as "bumblebee moths".

The clearwing has the wings right, I've seen a hummermoth and it is a lot smaller than that. Sort of like a deerfly, but beelike.
Looks to be a type of Moth Wasp ... altho' not exactly as this one, here > http://bugguide.net/node/view/63373 .. but similar.
- Magpye
And, possibly .. one of the Clearwing Moths.
- Magpye
Magpye got it - this is a Sesiid moth, perhaps Synanthedon scitula. Here is a whole page to look through:

I would say it's the Dogwood or Pecan clearwing. Are they seperate or is it one name?
