While I was outside, snapping a few pictures of flowers between showers…
this Hummingbird Moth showed up.
These are extremely cool creatures, that have a bee like body with hummingbird mannerisms.
They are far too flitty to get in clear focus, but too fascinating not to share!
I hope he keeps showing up and enjoying the blossoms.

Those are so cool! I wish I could see them more often.
They really are cool…once I figured out they weren’t bees!
Wow, these photos are something special! Happy weekend!
Happy Weekend to you as well. 🙂
As busy as a hummingbird is, you got a pretty good shot.
I’ll keep trying if they keep showing up!
Bummer for some reason the photos aren’t showing u

Oh they came through. Just took a while for some reason. Lovely!
Glad they finally appeared!
Terrific shots, Kathy!
Thanks!
I’ve never seen one of these little ones.
Last year was my first time seeing one. They have probably been around and I just failed to notice them without a camera in hand…you do see things differently with a lens. 🙂
Wow! Amazing Kathy! Such a fascinating moth – love the patterns on its wings and the fuzziness of its body. And your flowers are stunning too! 🐝🌷🌼
It is fascinating to watch…now that I know it isn’t a big bee!
