Yep, the Hummingbird Hawk Moth… quite a character. Do click on the link to learn more. I’ve had the opportunity to capture their flight on a few occasions and to say the least, those wing-beats are just a blur… even when I set the shutter speed at 1/2000 timing!
Welcome, thanks for stopping by… I hope you find loads to enjoy.
I occasionally rant and whinge but mostly have fun doing my posts… please have a look and feel free to comment and maybe even return for another dose some day!
These days, I’m promoting The Lucky Thirteen, my first Kindle publishing! Please see immediately below! Now added… True Stories and Other Lies… look!
God Bless!

Hi AJ. Great photos. Even though Autumn in approaching in Ireland and Spring here in SA, we seem to be having the same insects in the garden. My gardent is alive with butterflies and moths, including the hawk moth.

Fantastiese aksieskote, AJ! Die vlerkies mag “geblur” wees, maar die lyfies is perfek skerp, en dit gee mens beslis die idee dat hierdie n vinnige kalant is. Wow!

Dankie Dries… ja, ek hou van die effek. Ek hoop eendag ek kry ‘n “frozen” skoot! 😉

Ek weet nie, ek dink as die vlerkies nie “blur” nie gaan die foto nie realisties lyk nie!
