Description

This little girl I saw last summer putting her eggs in the meadow. Not the best shot, but they are very fast - like hummingbirds. Hope you like. Thank you for the views, comments and ratings on my last image. If you like, watch also http://pixel.praep.info

You have done so well just to get a shot of it in flight. They are a real challenge to capture. Well done!

I have yet to see one in person but I certainly feel like I haven't missed much when I see a great shot of one like this!

Good shot of an interesting critter. The similarities in appearance between this species of moth and hummingbirds is quite amazing. Thanks for sharing. Lee
