Humming bird clear wing to give it it's full name. This may be a bit boring for some but I just love these guys. The wing beat is so fast, that you need to step up to near 1/3000th of a second exposure to be able to see the filigran make up of the wings. At 1/800th they are just a blurr. And now at 1/3000th ATB Michael |

Not boring at all... 1st time I ever saw one was a few yeas ago at my in-laws house in north Jersey. Wasn't sure what I was looking at. It wasn't until a year or so later that I saw another one and decided to research them. They are up there on the cool bug list for me. Nice pictures! Eric |

Saw one these a couple of years back buzzing around a sage bush in the garden, I was convinced it was a hummingbird that had escaped until i did a bit of research, amazing creatures! Shame I have never seen another since. |

Had me digging through my files - Knew I had these somewhere. Amazing things I was amazed first time I saw them. Tom is a hummingbird moth, bottom I think is the same as yours, not sure if they're the same thing. |

The pictures of yours are of an I think an Elephant hawk moth. ATB Michael |
