Hi, Got a rather nice shot of a bee the other day. He's buzzing around the borage.

And here's a rather splendid moth, related to the hawkmoth we think, but does anyone know the exact species?

The bee is really neat...but the moth shows its colors! Wow, glad it stayed long enough for the shot.

I'm keeping a look out for the caterpillars as they sound pretty interesting too.
