Snowberry Clearwing

Not the prettiest of settings, but I was so intrigued with this little guy. I kept circling the flowers trying to get a better angle but then he'd move, too. This was the best I could do. Has a real interesting almost masked looking face. He's a kind of hawk moth.
That guy looks huge

Great capture, love the blur of his wings. A most unusual and attractive moth. Love how you have captured the proboscis deep in the flower:-)

Little? He looks huge. Lovely action shot. Sounds like you were playing ring around the rosie with him.

@kathiecb That's exactly what I was doing! Fortunately, he mostly ignored me and went about things his way. They're neither aggressive or worried about people. This little patch of flowers is circular at the top of the trail near the city swimming pool. Imagine those at the pool were wondering what the lady was doing going in circles!
