I know this is not the best clear shot, but I was thrilled to even get one this good. I took so many and maybe 1 more could be useable.
He was so active, and darting in, and around the flowers, in the shade, and sunlight, this had to be one of most difficult shots I have ever taken.
Thanks for viewing, and commenting, I do appreciate hearing from you.

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
I think it's a grand capture of this fellow. Now do they fly fast like a hummer, I don't thinks I've seen one of these before

Have a Sunny Day
I see these darting around my flowers in the early evening - they move incredibly fast and drive my cat crazy if she's at the window - amazing you caught him so well!

Neat shot Sandi! I had one in our gardens darting about the Sweet William blooms. Snapped a few shots of it and I will have to share one of those shots too. They have neat markings and their tailend looks like little ruffled feathers.

That's an odd looking insect which I've never seen before, the detail, and lighting is very good, well done Tigz.

Do you do any burst shooting on your action shots Tigz? Sometimes it helps to get one good one. They sure are fat little moths. I like it.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
A really good shot under difficult movement!..
I have never seen one of these afore...
Usually when I go out to snap fast flying buggers!
I select 'Sports' mode on 'multi' shot!...I usually come out with a couple of good ones out a hundred!!!...

The most precious jewel you'll ever have around your neck are the arms of your children♥
Wow! He's a fat lil bugger. I've never seen anything like this. I'm totally fascinated with it. I think you've done a fine job with this challenging subject, the focus is right on.

Not necessary to explain this to me, Sandi, because it took me a couple of hours to achieve a reasonable result in a comparable situation.
Your result however is very good!!!

But the hunt must have been so exciting! I have never seen this one near the place where I live. Congratulations Sandi! I admire your patience and sacrifice.

This is a great shot. I know how hard it is to get an insect in flight. You were really lucky with this one.
