Obviously I just made up this name, I have no idea what it is, but it looks a bit like a lobster - ergo the title.

Nancy, this is so nice. I gave it a ten in the voting booth, because I like it that much. Those flowers really add something special.

A friend of mine works in a camera store. The other day a very confused looking woman approached the counter and handed my friend a camera. She said "I took pictures, but I forgot to have film in the camera. Can you please get them out of the camera for me?"

wow! this is gorgeous Scorp! What a beautiful moth - I didn't think they could be that pretty! You captured it perfectly and the blurry grass background and in focus flowers looks very arty! - putting this in my favourites!

Whatever it is, it's really cool looking! Similar to my hummingbird moths but more colorful! Great shot! C):-)

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY

First I want to apologize for getting to these posts so late. I had absolutely no internet accessibility yesterday in the afternoon and early evening at all, and I'm still on borrowed time. When I saw this in the voting booth, I thought it was perhaps another one of those great animal mixtures that Junglegeorge has been doing, but I couldn't quite make out what the two animals could have been. I think that you're right on the money with the lobster approach and I gave it a 10 in the voting booth because I loved the flowers so much.

I won't be uploading images until my computer comes out of its sudden death coma. I am commenting using a shared machine that doesn't have PhotoShop or my images on it. I'll let you help me tear my hair out.

Saw this in VB and really loved it. Terrific clarity and color. The flowers are wonderful and the bug a nice plus.

Very cool shot, Nancy. I love all of the colors. I have never seen one of these moths, but I can see why they call it a lobster moth! Nice job :)

Hemaris is a Holarctic genus of moths in the sphingidae family, consisting of about 17 species, four of which fly in North and South America. Their main host plants are herbs and shrubs of the Dipsacaceae (Teasel) and Caprifoliaceae (Honeysuckle) families. Moths in the Hemaris genus are collectively called Clearwing Moths or Hummingbird Moths in the US, and Bee Hawk-Moths in Britain.
