The Snowberry Clearwing Moth (aka Hummingibrd Moth) is an evolutionary wonder that would make Darwin proud. It took learning about the birds and bees to heart and has evolved to become a visual mimic of both as a survival technique to evade predators.

It has the same size, shape, and flight pattern of a hummingbird down to copying the shape of tailfeathers with stiff hairlike scales. Then it doubled down with a second mimicry, copying the fuzzy black and yellow striped look of a bumblebee to fake being more aggressive. Don't be fooled, this trickster is completely harmless.

I surprised this fabulous Fogo Island fox out daytime hunting when returning from a hike. This color of Newfoundland fox is called a cross fox. A cross between red fox and a silver fox produces this gorgeous range of color in the coat.
