The day I took this one, I was pleased to see hummingbirds, these unique moths, and butterflies. Hummingbird moths are only about 2 inches long, so can be hard to spot, and are quick! Used the 70-300 lens, and the image was cropped.

Thought this might be a good one for MM.

Thank you in advance for commenting.

Very clear and sharp shot. The colors and background look very nice too.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

You got a fine photo of one of these seldom seen moths. Nicely cropped too.

Great job! I've seen these in my yard and they're lightning quick.

Excellent capture! Nice!!! :)
A little bit jealous though. Apparently, we have these in the UK, but I've never seen one, let alone get a photo of one!

Very nice capture and not especially easy with this little beast! Well done Sandi.

I followed one of these around the other day, but didn't have my camera with me to even attempt a bad shot of it. A good capture of the moth, Sandi. Lovely colours and good details in the photo.
