Hummingbird Moth on a Button Bush

Silver Lake Nature Center - Bristol, PA

Hummingbird Moths, also known as a Clearwing, are fascinating to watch and even more difficult to photograph.
They never land and they are in constant motion.
As you can see it takes at least 1/1000sec shutter speed to stop those wings. In this picture 1/400sec did not do it.

Canon EOS 60D ,Canon EF-s 55 - 250mm
1/400s f/5.6 at 250.0mm iso250 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
