Description
For a few seconds, the butterfly makes a stationary flying to put its trunk in a flower and drink the nectar. Then he switches to another flower .... like a hummingbird!
Hummingbird hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum)
Pendant quelques secondes, le papillon fait un vol stationnaire pour mettre sa trompe dans une fleur et boire le nectar. Puis il passe à une autre fleur .... comme un colibri!
Sphinx colibri (moro-sphinx, Macroglossum stellatarum)

Ô temps, suspend ton vol.........ta prise de vue est remarquable par sa netteté, avec seulement le flou des ailes en mouvement rapide.......ta macrophoto est de toute beauté, Jean-Claude !

Celle-ci est impressionnante Jean-Claude, ces p'tites bêtes, elles ne sont déjà pas facile à cadrer, amis en plus, pour les figer dans l'action comme-ça... Chapeau ! :)

A marvelous picture in action Jean-C. I have seen this Hummingbird hawk-moth last year for the first time. We are gifted with a beauty of nature. Thank you for showing us these creatures inside ;)

Good that you have no microphone with it. Otherwise you would hear the following: "Ah, yummy yummy! Suck, schlork! Ah, delicious!" Fantastic shot, my dear friend!
