Not the best capture, but it does give you the idea of how fast these little creatures are. I cannot remember the name of this kind, and did not have any luck looking it up, I guess I'm inept this morning. :)

I did crop this image, they are small, and can be hard to spot, now that I know what they are, I can look for them in the garden.

Must be an amazing sight. They look like they would be super fast. Nice shot, Sandi.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Outstanding work on this capture! They move so fast that this is not an easy shot to get. Fine work Sandi!

I've never seen a hummingbird moth in person, but like you said they are very fast & hard to spot. Love the movement you caught in the wings. The purple & pink flowers make a nice contrast. Outstanding capture, Sandi.

Very unusual moth for me, but very beautiful. It has so many colors on its back. Very colorful work, I love it. I wish you a Happy New Year.
