Hawk Moth

Posted by Earnest (Oklahoma, United States) on 26 April 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

It's wings appear to be transparent because they were too fast for my camera...

I hope you enjoyed the viewing... Have a great day!

When these moths fly past you they sound like hummingbirds! Great shot, Earnest!

It's amazing that you were able to catch one in the daylight! I only see the hawk and sphinx moths at night down here. Great catch!

I thought you did an excellent job of capturing motion in those wings. What an interesting find!

I've heard of these but have never seen one... Really incredible, Earnest!

@amy: These mostly appear at night and on trumpet-shaped flowers with lots of nectar... look in the evenings closely and you'll see one I'm sure.

Candace from Phoenix, United States

Wow, I think that's a fantastic shot!
