Description Found 3 different stands of Wild Bergamot at the wetlands and each had 1 or 2 Hummingbird Moths working it for nectar. May have to plant some in my back yard. Canon 20D and Canon IS 75-300 lens @ 300mm.

Loved both of your shots, but I think I like this one the best. They also seem fond of Zennias. My sister had a large patch of Zennias a couple years ago and found several of these feeding.

Amazing action macro.
I know it is not easy to make such picture even if the insect is hanging in air.
