Mark, all beautiful shots. One suggestion, you might want to size your pics to 1024 or less in width so people don't have to scroll right to view the whole thing. Thanks for sharing.

That is a very cool moth. It does look like a humming bird, but also kinda looks like a flying shrimp:rofl
Thanks for sharing.

Excellent capture, these moths are quite amazing- never stop still and always hovering.

Hi Mark, I have only ever seen one hummingbird moth in my entire life.
I'd seen then on this forum and on the web, but never seen one myself.

The day I did see one I was in awe of the size of it.

Great capture on your part. :clap

The Mantis is my favourite insect, I love the way they seem to be ready to do Kung Foo :rofl I love their faces .

Nice series of images Mark.... don't forget to post them in one thread :thumb
.... Skippy :D

I believe Hummingbird Moths are better known as Hawk Moths. I know this cause I photographed one last summer, and being a journalism student researched what they were really called :)
