I am so excited I have just seen a humming bird moth in the garden and just managed to get a snap of it, not up to Greenwizards standards Im afraid :)

but interesting all the same.
What a fascinating creature.
They are excellent pics and lucky you. I still want one!

well done you ;D
Georgie I really hope you see one soon they are amazing.
Greenwizard, I have admired your photos so often and even as I was taking the pictures I was thinking "this is not going to be as good as Greenwizards" lol
I'm quite pleased with it and it is proof that I had one in the garden :)
Utterly brilliant, Nippie! (Humming bird hawk moth).
I think you will find Yuet Lee posted the first picture of one of these and mine was probably second, but still a superb shot.
Very good pics Nippie. :D The humming bird hawkmoth beats its wings so quickly too that it makes it very difficult to photograph. Well done. ;D ;D
I take my hat off to anyone who can take a picture of these wonderful moths, I get one on my pink phlox but it flies away every time I get near it, well done to all /regards shades x :) ;D
Best shots of a hummingbird hawk yet!
I agree with RB !
Fab pics! Worthy of photo comp entry I think! I haven't ever seen them in my Essex garden, but saw lots when we holidayed on Greek island many moons ago. I was terrified at first thinking it was some monster stinging beasty, but soon found out what it was. Stunning!
