This bug was so fast. Followed it around for 15’ and these were the best pics I got. Oh well.

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.
