I think i've seen these before and i've always thought they were humming bird moths. Correct me if im wrong. Im so glad you got a pic of him and this is going into my faves!

Isn't it funny how the word 'politics' is made up of the words 'poli' meaning 'many' in Latin, and 'tics' as in 'bloodsucking creatures’?
Bird food is what I'd call im' LOL Nice capture of the little guy though Doug.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life.
Uhhhh...I've never in my life seen a bug like this Doug. Really strange little booger, huh? You've capture it beautifully though! Great colors and wonderful focus buddy!

The only greatness is

I;m not sure what type of insect this is, but it sure is fascinating. Wonderful capture Doug ... the colors & composition are magnificent.

Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'. Ernest Haas
Macroglossum stellatarum sounds right to me!! Very nice image of this unique flappin' fella!!

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
My guess is the Snowberry Clearwing (Hemaris diffinis). It's one of the hummingbird moths. Never seen one tho. However, my back yard has plenty of real hummingbirds, and I like sittin' out back and watching them fight. I was told they were actually courting. Can't tell the difference. Oh well, maybe they been hangin' around people too long. Nice post.
