Field Notes

Description:

I was lucky to spot this hummingbird moth and even luckier that it hung around long enough for me to get my camera. It took some patience to get this shot as he darted from flower to flower, never hovering for too long in one place.

Habitat:

Patch of impatiens.

Reference Links:

Sphingidae

That's a great shot. I like that you can see the flower petals through its wings.
