Bugs in Flight Too

Out again with the bugs the last couple of days - trying for both in flight shots as well as close ups. A couple of different butterflies, bees & misc. Having great fun with this exercise, can't imagine doing it without the AF Nikkor 75-300 4.5 5.6. That has been brilliant in combination with the D 7200. This year I deliberately left a wildflower area near the house un mowed, I will improve for next year.

Just a little while ago - a rare visitor here.

I'm always after bugs. Still trying to bag a hummingbird moth in flight, but they move awfully fast. So far I've gotten close, but today's effort, hampered by a slowish old 28-105D lens, is a bit soft when cropped in. This with D7100 at ISO 400:

Have only ever seen two here in Montana - neither time with a camera available. First time a local friend had to tell me what it was!

This one would have been better if it had not been underexposed, making for too much noise on the crop...

BIF flying in during these flowers being focused. And here you go.
