Awesome macro. Crisp and clear, well done. I saw the focal length of 300mm - is this a freehand shot?

Stellar! I am totally taken with this shot of the moth. You brought out all his best attributes!

Great shot. Reminds me of the pictures we've all seen of mid-air refuelling. The shape of the flower is very similar to a boom from a KC-135. Bet there aren't many others who see this the same way I do. LOL. Seriously, well done and the moth is a new creature on my list.

Great shot! I've only seen one once, and that was over 20 years ago. I've been keeping an eye out for them ever since.

Judging by the name, do these moths hover like hummingbirds? Quite spectacular! Have never heard of them before but they are certainly beautiful!
