American Lady (Vanessa cardui) on Lilac

The magic happened today !

Late this afternoon with 25mph gusting winds.... the Snowberry Clearwing Moths (Hemaris diffinis) and this Lady were drawn to the glorious perfume of the Lilacs wafted in the wind.

The hard thing was to get a picture when nothing was staying still !
