Exaeretia gracilis is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Lord Walsingham in 1889. [1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from North Dakota to Texas and in California, Colorado, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Iowa. [2]
The wingspan is 16–20 mm. The forewings are straw yellow with dark brown discal spots. There is a series of six or seven dark brown spots from the costa, just before the apex around termen. The hindwings are pale greyish fuscous. [3]

Hemaris thysbe, the hummingbird clearwing, is a moth of the family Sphingidae (hawkmoths). Coloration varies between individuals, but typically the moth is olive green and burgundy on its back, and white or yellow and burgundy on the underside. Its wings are transparent with a reddish-brown border. It has light-colored legs, which combined with the lack of striping on the underside is diagnostic. Beating its wings rapidly, H. thysbe hovers to collect nectar from a variety of flowers. The combination of its appearance and its behavior commonly leads to it being confused with a hummingbird or bumblebee.
