Actually it's a great capture Luis, It's wings appear to be going in a circular motion (although there not), like a helicopter. Stuart
Holy cow, that thing looks big! I think it's a great shot too, it looks like the eye is in perfect focus! and the rest is movement. Great work indeed!!
Glourious capture. Well done.
FAST WINGS.......... Excellent shot. Aloha
Well done Luis. For things like that I like what your are showing over nothing anytime!
Ooohhh, excelente foto, la composixi es fantastica y buen timing en esta mariposa !!!! Beso vecino y buen dia :)
I love the wing action here. You captured it well.
Well that's what I call perfect timing. That is indeed one huge bug! Impressive. Excellent shot. Thanks for sharing.
Great shot. Love the movement.
I think it is a Hummingbird Hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum). I have never seen one little lone had a chance to capture. impressive capture
Wow, great shot! The movement is perfect and you were lucky to be able to get this!
this is an amazing catch :-) first thougth it would be an humming bird..and is this actually the "tounge" that you can see in this picture ??? --well done --
i rhink yesitis3 is correct, it is hummingbird hawk-moth, there are some other pics of them in Rendo, but this is a very good one. they are incredibly fast in flight, which i think is because their wings have a rigid leading edge (the front of the wing), and very difficult to photograph.
This is a really good capture. :) You should see me sometimes trying to take a picture of a simple bee...I have yet to get it right!
LOL Oh, Luis, you are FUNNY! This is a VERY INTERESTING ............. bug. ;) Fantastic capture! I'll bet he was hard to capture! I would say its some sort of hummingbird bug. But yeah .. like yesitis3 says; I'll bet he is right :)
Increle el movimiento, si lo miras rido parece un colibr Genial !
q buena foto! esta es para national geographic :) gracias por encantarnos
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! sos increible jock!! Roby ;O)
Very creepy! It looks like a bird! I think it's a great shot though. Love the long tongue coming out for a drink. Gives me chills. lol :)
Oh dear! what a capture. Superb shot.
I have choosen this image in your gallery becaus I know difficult it is to catch this butterfly (In french it's name is "Sphinx de jour" ). I'll come back asap in your gallery to see your nice and interresting work Luis. Jean-Louis
