Hummingbird hawk-moth

Newburne

an unexpected visitor to our garden, especially so late in the season; unfortunately incredibly well camouflaged except when flying between plants, so only got this one poor shot

We get these cool moths here too - a fascinating critter '111

I've only ever seen one and you got a better shot than I managed.

love those tones in the leaves.

Excellent shot. We had an invasion of these because of the warm summer and southerly Winds. Otherwise they are very rare here.

Such interesting moths, and good job of capturing it.

I image this moth would be hard to catch at any time Chris. You have done really well with this capture.
