Another moth I found alongside a trail in Larose recently, and it was certainly both an attraction and distraction!

Oh yes another fantastic group among the butterflies, and not so easy to get a good picture, where you have succeeded miraculously in very lovely work BV++

I am so jealous! Went looking for hummingbird moths a few days ago in the same place where I saw them last time - no luck!

It almost could be a hummingbird, except perhaps that you've photographed it sitting still.
