Summer is a great time for insects.I have seen these 'hawk moths' around just on dusk in garden,and wanting to try and photograph them.
I used a long lens- 400 mm and a flash,and had ago at getting an image-they are very very fast.Here is a couple of the better ones.Hope they are of interest.
Great shots of a difficult subject. Fascinating moths these. You can see the uncoiled extended proboscis seeking out nectar in those flowers. To me they are the "humming bird" of the Lepidoptera. Mark
