Once again a big thank you to those who submitted a picture and to those who took the time to vote.
I don't normally say who I've voted for (not for any particular reason) but I voted for lisa's pic this time because it makes me feel like I want to decorate a room with that picture, play some calming music and stay in there all day, LOL.
Well done everyone :)

Great picture well done :icon_cheers:
Brilliant, love these moths :happy10:
Thank you! These hummingbird hawk-moths fascinate us. I've never seen a (bird) humming bird, so to be able to watch these moths in the garden is a real privilege. I must have followed this one round our clump of zinnias for at least 10 minutes before I managed to get it in focus long enough to take the photo. Every time I'd focussed, it has darted to another flower! I just love the elbow shape of its proboscis.
Great shot Peanuts - A worthy winner!
Would have been a dead heat if I hadn't voted for my own as I would have voted for Nick's!
Congratulations Peanuts. A very good photo and you did exceedingly well to capture it.
We come across a lot of these moths when holidaying in France and trying to photograph them is a nightmare. Well done!
