These little things fly like a hummingbird and are a moth. I was fortunate to capture this one in the flower garden.I didn't realize how difficult this shot was until I tried to duplicate it.

    Almost a duplicate shot of what I submitted several days ago. Have a look at mine for comparison. I know how tricky it is to get this shot. Nice going.

    It is so hard to capture these with a camera. I love these little creatures. They visit our plumbago regularly. Great shot, Dennis. I have one in my gallery, but it isn't as good as yours.
