Das Taubenschwänzchen besucht auch die Blüten in meinem Garten. Sie suchen Nektar im Flug, ähnlich wie Kolibris. Ausgezeichnete Aufnahme, Keith!

Thanks Wilhelm. I've never heard it called a pigeon tail before - but I can see why.

Fantastic! I think it was difficult to catch the Humming Bird Hawk Moth with the camera. They're so fast.

That's a big moth! I'm glad we don't have them here. I'm ashamed to say I'm scared of moths. Dogs, bulls, spiders,, etc....no problem. Moths....I run. Don't ask me why. I always have. All the same, this is a great shot!
