Excellent photo with proboscis extended and wings fluttering.

Thanks, Ron.

This moth was not still even for a fraction of a second. But maybe it helps to show that they really move around so much.

Hast wieder einen erwischt Doerthe...bei uns fliegen sie auch noch!
Wunderschön auch die Farben am Schmetterlingsstrauch!

Danke, Tanja.

Es braucht sehr viel Geduld, diese kleinen Schnellflieger zu erwischen. Ich hatte einfach Glueck, auch mit dem Wetter.

das war bestimmt nur mit Ausdauer (und einigen Fehlschüssen) möglich - toll geworden!

Hallo, Joerg, vielen Dank, freut mich, dass du so nett auf dieses Foto reagiert hast. Ja, hat eine Weile gedauert und aus etwa dreissig Fotos ist dieses das beste geworden.

This is excellent. A wonderful capture! A very beautiful photo with wonderful light and flowers.

I recently bought a sage plant and on two occasions I saw a clearwing (possibly hummingbird) moth momentarily come to it, but missed taking its picture (reflexes much too slow).

Thanks, micritter.

You are right, these little moths are very quick and it is not easy to stop the movement of the wings to see what they look like. These were clear.
