Are the comps here a 1 entry job or can we put more than one in. I have lots of pics of things that fly, from birds to planes hot air balloons.

You have captured a Hummingbird Moth. I had a few around our Geisha Girl plant a while ago and managed the following shot out of a stack of missed shots (I think your shot shows it at a better angle for ID). They are certainly flighty and difficult to get close to.

Thanks Andrew I have searched for the ID for this bug for awhile with no luck.
Yes they are a very flighty bug and everytime I tried to get close it took off. The only way I could get the photo was to wait for it to come back while I waited with the camera ........ And hoped.

Dennis,
Your emotive and touching portrait of that pod of dolphins is one of the best nature photos I've seen in a while.
I know where my vote's going this month.

Alan, where'd you take that shot? Looks like a Canberra bomber if I'm not wrong.
