Spectacular shots! What an interesting moth. I looked it up because I've never heard of or seen them before.
ReplyDeleteI like this meme too--I may start doing it next week!
I love these critters. Kudos for your wonderful photography talents!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! Do love to watch those amazing moths.
ReplyDeleteWhere are we now? Oh, we're on your blog. Just left a comment on FB, too. :-)
Gorgeous shots of this fascinating creature. I've only managed to get a picture of one once and then my dog scared it away. ;)
ReplyDeleteSome of the best pictures I have seen of the Clearwing!! Very nice Jan.
ReplyDeleteI saw one of these out on the petunia the other morning. Your photos are spectacular!
ReplyDeleteMy dear those photos are smashing! I wish they would hold still for me;-)
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos Jan! I've never been able to get a clear shot of a hummingbird moth. Phlox seems to be the flower of the hour!
ReplyDeleteOh Jan, stunning captures!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos, Jan! I've never seen one of these here, let alone try to photograph it. Phlox seems to be a favorite of so many flying creatures.
ReplyDeleteHi Jan. I love seeing the hummingbird moths in the garden. They do seem to love phlox blooms. Gorgeous pictures.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! There are lots of these lovelies buzzing around the garden here too. They love phlox and bee balm.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Jan! I saw my first Hummingbird moth this summer just the other day on Beebalm.

ReplyDeleteAmazing photos, Jan! Welcome back, I missed you. I'll look forward to your next post!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots of flowers and wildlife!
ReplyDeleteI love the adorable Phlox paniculata flower. Now wonder the bees loves to suck its nectar.

Great, great capture of such a cool critter! Always a delight to see your garden in action...Kim
ReplyDeleteI saw one of these in my garden 2 weeks ago at night (not the phlox). I have never seen them in the day. I discovered they develop from those fat hornworms. Your photos are extremely good - How did you get those moths to pose for your? :-)
ReplyDeleteI have those same moths in my garden. They love my phlox, too!! Great photos! :o)
ReplyDeleteThis shy creature has eluded my camera several times. Nice capture!
ReplyDeleteLovely, Jan. Happy August :)
