Donna, I've never cared much for the Hummingbird Moth pics posted here. Then you came along and BAM!. What beautiful shots you have. You really have the knack.
If you could bottle the knack up and sell it, you'd be a very rich woman.

Aw...thanks so very much, Tom! I'm glad you like these, but I'm afraid they were mainly a result of pure chance. I'd never even seen one of these little jewels in the delta area, and I first thought it was a hummingbird. If I hadn't already had my camera on a tripod, these would have all been throwaways.

Exquisite photos of an exquisite creature! I'm not sure I have ever had an opportunity to use that word twice in the same sentence but it is the correct word, I looked it up. Those transparent/translucent wings are perfactly caught. This is field guide quality work and that is ment is a high compliment. Thanks for the link, the Hummingbird Clearwing Moth is someone to know!
edit: I just carefully looked at all of the photos in your link, your photos are superior!

Well, then, you were very lucky. You still had the skill to get those great pics.

Well maybe, but I'm always surprised when I actually capture something in focus!
