jblue , 20 days ago Please like these photos. This bug was so fast. Followed it around for 15’ and these were the best pics I got. Oh well. Hemaris deffinis, snowberry clearing (aka hummingbird moth) on Salvia lyrata, lyre leaf sage #InsektenSamstag #insects #insectodon #bugstodon #insectos #昆虫 #butterfly #mariposas #papillon #schmetterling #蝴蝶 #moth #bloomscrolling #florespondence #FleurisTonFil #flowers #flores #NativePlants #hiking #nature #pollinators @plants A hummingbird moth feeding on lavender tube-shaped flowers with a green background. There are new buds of flowers at the top of the pic and those are dark purple. The thorax is very fuzzy and yellow, and the abdomen is black and fuzzy. Its wings are clear but with black veins. And the photo they’re rather blurry because they beat very fast. In this pic, the moth has pulled away and its proboscis is hanging out in front. A hummingbird moth with black and yellow coloring hovering near purple flowers. This is a download facing pic. Its head is in the flower. Close-up of a hummingbird moth feeding on purple flowers against a green grassy background. This pic the hummingbird moth is facing right with its head in a flower.

Guy_VO , 18 days ago @jblue @plants This is my best shot of the closely related Macroglossum stellatarum. (in Dutch: "kolibrievlinder" => 'hummingbird butterfly'). (also member of Sphingidae family) Not an award-winning photo either🤭 .
