Title: Hummingbird Clearwinged Moth
Post by: cosmo3667 on September 03, 2013, 09:42:08 AM

Have seen these guys about 4 times in total and never been able to photograph them this one very small and quick and prefers low flowers which makes getting a clear picture of it very difficult.

Nice shots . I try to photograph these little guys but its very difficult because they move so fast . In the spring they seem to like lilacs and berry flowers .

Nice shots.  I always find these guys a treat, but it's hard to get my head around the fact that they're moths.  So un-mothlike!
