A unique insect was observed the other day, which I mistook at first for a carpenter bee, owing to its hovering flight ability and approximate size. This insect had translucent wings which it moved very rapidly, yet was silent-no buzzing of any kind. The abdomen was black, except for some spotting about the distal end. It displayed a butterfly/moth like sucker which it used to sample nectar from small flower blossoms.
Doper insect experts-name that critter!
