Last evening my wife and I were at a swim party at a friend's home in a country setting. During a small part of that time I chose to do some nature photography. Below are three of those photos.
I'm told this is a moth but I don't know what kind.
Can you tell me it's name?
Some pokeberries in the evening sun
A swallowtail butterfly
I bet the moth is a butterfly. We have one just a bit different in Europe ; sometimes I have one in my garden ; it looks like a hummingbird but it is not.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful set of nature, the first one is excellent in its color and sharpenss. I think too its a hummingbird moth and they come in different colors. Very fast too.
ReplyDeleteWhatever the moth is, Tim, it's gorgeous. I would love it if it IS a hummingbird moth. So perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks, marguerite, kirsten, sue anne, and ginnie. It is a beautiful hummingbird moth. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteThe name I've always been given for those moths is, "hummingbird moth." They're amazing.
