Actually it's a great capture Luis, It's wings appear to be going in a circular motion (although there not), like a helicopter. Stuart

Holy cow, that thing looks big! I think it's a great shot too, it looks like the eye is in perfect focus! and the rest is movement. Great work indeed!!

i rhink yesitis3 is correct, it is hummingbird hawk-moth, there are some other pics of them in Rendo, but this is a very good one. they are incredibly fast in flight, which i think is because their wings have a rigid leading edge (the front of the wing), and very difficult to photograph.
