Congratulation on the SOTD!! lovely Hummingbird Moth, great picture also. Thank you for sharing.
Been in love with them, Hummingbird Moth, since one came to my garden some 7 years ago. Thank you again.
Thanks everyone for you kind comments.
This is very surprising to me, I'd never expect to see so many people enchanted by this unique moth.
Pedro you are famous :-) great work,congrats on the SOTD,thanks for sharing
I saw 1 last year for the first time! Awesome little things...I will try to capture a pic this year :)
Welcome to the community Pedro, and congratulations, you have just earned your first spotting of the day!
The Hummingbird hawk-moth is named for its ability to hover, accompanied by an audible humming noise, which makes it appear remarkably like a hummingbird.
