Getting Nectar
As I was walking through our back yard in the last glimmer of evening, I happened to notice something buzzing about my wife's flowers. At first, I thought it was a hummingbird. Quickly, I grabbed the camera and took this image. I have no idea what moth this is. Any help?
Thanks for viewing my gallery and your comments.

Richard has said it, it is a humming bird moth Jim and they are very tricky to capture as they don't stay still for long.

Какая потрясающая фотография! Сначала я подумала, что это бабочка! Но потом увидела птичку. Великолепный снимок.

Excelent shot!!! I love such pictures of nature and certainly when they show a great close-up and even the wings "stil standing" although they flutter so fast.
