Finally able to grab one of these guys!! Sitting on the porch and heard some buzzing,looked over and there he was. Love the red coloring on his wings and so hard to capture because he was all over this bush with the speed of a Hummingbird. I was able to get a few shots which I will share with ya and hope you enjoy!! Have not seen this dude since and hope he comes back!!

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

They are fast! Interesting lighting, Doug. Almost looks like a night shot. Good detail.

You got a good capture considering how these moths move. Nice colours and lighting too.
