Clearwing Hawk Moth On Teasel

I've seen some butterflies already - not many but five or six kinds. I hope that is a sign of. nice butterfly summer:>). Thanks for coming by and commenting!!

Thanks! Actually, it happened this ay even with a high shutter speed because their wings beat so fast (like a hummingbird). It does give the effect of fast motion, though. It was a "happy accident" (Bob Ross said that often).

Many thanks, Michael:>). There was a Mourning Cloak Butterfly out this afternoon - spring is truly here!

How kind of you! Thanks:>). Wishing you and your loved ones a beautiful Christmas.

What a lovely comment! Thanks, Morris, and thank you for coming by!

Thanks for all your generous support and kind words, AnnaJo:>)

:>). Thank you so much.

I love them! They are never still and, as I said below, they remind me of little crayfish:>). Thanks, Michael.

I think they look like tiny crayfish - LOL. Thanks for coming by!

Many, many thanks for these kind words, Tara! I'm so pleased you like my picture:>).

They are such fun to watch! Thanks for the nice comment.

How nice of you to say that! I'm pleased you like it.

Thank you, Mike. They are lovely and remind me of flying lobster:>). This red is, in true life, a little more like maroon and he green is just the tiniest bit more like olive. I'm a little better now with trying to get the colors exactly as I saw them. They are really beautiful moths.

I'm so pleased you like this image, Shelley:>). Thank you.

They are the devil's own when it comes to catching them still for more than a split second - LOL. Gotta love them. Thanks for coming by, Linda, and thank you kindly for the nice comment.

Thank you for this wonderful comment and the FAVE, Wes. I keep trying for better and better pictures - hoping for the "perfect" one :>)

Are't they just the best! I watch them hover, dash back and forth, then stop to feed - so like hummingbirds. I'm happy you enjoyed it:>) Thanks

Delightful visual! I love your comment, Nancy. Thank you:>)
