Lepidoptera


mothra

Taken at about 4:00 pm in macro mode with a flash and the sun behind me. Camera was hand-held. This white-lined sphinx moth is a difficult capture due to it's hummingbird-like movements and rapid wing beat. It is often mistaken for a baby hummingbird.

Nice catch - in mid air to boot. I wish we could see some of the wings. Could you provide details like shutter speed and aperture?
