Splendid capture ! the fly of this butterfly is very fast and it's difficult to catch it.

Wow, what a capture. I have never seen a moth like this before. At least it looks like a moth. Anyway, great shot. Aloha

Looks like a sort of humming-bird hawk moth that we have in the UK. Absolutely brilliant shot!!!

Some call these a Sphinx Moth, clear winged sort..a hummingbird hawk moth. Very different creatures and fairly quick fliers.. Thanks for the fine photo.
