Hummingbird Moth

Hummingbird Moth

An interesting 'Hummingbird' moth taken this morning in Panjin, Liaoning, China. A half dozen of so feeding in one flower bed. I found it interesting how the color of the rear wings closely matched the flowers that they were feeding on. The underwing also matches well with the flowers. I only see these around this time of year.

An excellent shot of this hummingbird hawk moth, one that is not easy to capture in flight. Great colourful setting . A splendid image, Owen.

What a wonderful macro image this is Owen. Creatures are so clever with their colourings and camouflage, aren't they.

You've a super picture of this guy - very well done lad.
