As soon as the sun sets, large White-lined Sphinx (Hyles lineata) moths will emerge, like nocturnal hummingbirds..These amazing fliers can be seen zooming around the garden and hovering before flowers as they sip nectar. Occasionally, these hummingbird-like moths can even be seen during the daytime, especially late in the season. F/16, 1/125th, ISO 500, 1D M3, Sigma 150mm & fill flash in partial shade around 10:00am yesterday.. |

A very interesting creature that was captured very well. I think this may be the first one I have seen perched! Scott |
