I wonder?! The one (one) time I saw a hummingbird moth with my own eyes, I thought its wings were opaque -- then again, they move so fast just like a hummingbird, I am probably wrong. (The one I saw was green as well, not bee-like, more like a mimic of an emerald hummingbird of some type).

There is at least one species with clear wings though but the edges and veins aren't?

I've never seen one clearly either, they move so fast and just look big and not really Hummingbirdish
