Nov 20 Snowberry Clearwing or Bumblebee Moth

We have seen these in Taiwan several times and always thought they were hummingbirds.
Seeing them and getting a photograph are two entirely different matters though.
We have never seen one at rest...they are in constant motion as they move from flower to flower.
This is not a great picture...but I am happy to get it!

Nikon D200
1/2500s f/2.8 at 200.0mm iso640 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
