Here is another capture with the Nikon of this little garden critter. This is a Clear Winged Hummingbird Moth.
(Hummingbird moths are members of the sphinx moth family (Sphingidae), which have heavy bodies and long front wings. The wings of hummingbird moths are clear, with a black or brown border, and are nearly invisible when they fly. Males have a flared �tail� like that of a hovering hummingbird. One obvious difference between the birds and the moths is size. The ruby-throated hummingbird can be 3� long. Hummingbird moths are much smaller at 1-1/2� long.
You have to look hard for these little ones, but are fun to shoot with the camera.
Thanks for your comments.

This is a very good and sharp capture Sandi. The green background makes a nice background and bokeh.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Sharply captured Sandi - nice detail on the moth and flowers.

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?
Love the purple! I have a hummingbird moth that visits my yard occasionally, and he's fast...so, I can appreciate the work to capture this! Very nice.

A good freeze-frame capture of the moth, Sandi. Lovely colours and a good DoF in the photo.
