hummingbird moth

There have been two hummingbirds that hang around this flowered bush. When I pulled into the driveway, there they were. I ran into the house and grabbed my camera. YES! I caught them - at least one of them!

I love all the up-turned flower petals and how they frame the humming bird moth. I didn't know there was such a thing as a humming bird moth? Fav, and so gorgeous!

[JudyC]

@pplutz Thank you for looking and for the fav! At first I thought it was a hummingbird, but I was corrected. I didn't know there was such a thing either. I posted another picture two or three days later, I liked that one better. Look at that one too. Thanks again.
