Thank you Jared. My high dollar studio lights are a couple Office Max LED desk lamps. Darned if they don't work well!

Two images of the same bug. I had a fast shutter speed... it should have been faster!

We have a similar insect in Virginia, usually called a clearwing hawk moth (I swear I am not making that up). A quick search found this link to one found in Japan that looks a lot like the one in your images.
Pellucid Hawkmoth (Cephonodes hylas)

Thank you, dexdog, I'd say that you solved the case of the mystery bug. Well done!

All the best,
Mike
