Splendid capture ! the fly of this butterfly is very fast and it's difficult to catch it.
Wow, what a capture. I have never seen a moth like this before. At least it looks like a moth. Anyway, great shot. Aloha
excellent macro shot, a lot of details.
Looks like a sort of humming-bird hawk moth that we have in the UK. Absolutely brilliant shot!!!
A beautiful and detailed capture!

I believe it is a Hummingbird Moth. This is a spectacular capture. Perfect timing.

Wonderful shot! I have never seen one of these and would have been too excited to hold the camera still. Bravo!
Some call these a Sphinx Moth, clear winged sort..a hummingbird hawk moth. Very different creatures and fairly quick fliers.. Thanks for the fine photo.
