Flying Shrimp

This tiny little hummingbird moth showed up in our pollinator garden this afternoon... a nickname is flying shrimp or flying lobster.

Wow! A super capture- so in focus! (I just checked your shutter speed- 8000 did the trick!) This is a new one for me. A pretty setting too with the purple allium and your shallow dof! Fav
