Very nice shot Scott. Love the way the colors play with each other. Don't know what it is, but it looks like it stings.

I think it's the night moth. Very nice shot. I have been trying to get one of these in the moon flowers.

Nice capture!
These rascals are hard to shoot, they're always on the go.
Guest 29-Jul-2007 21:18
Looks like a member of the hawk moths?..hummingbird hawk moth or a clearwing?
Wrong side of the pond for me to identify!..superb shot anyway!..top notch!
