Macroglossum stellatarum - The Humming Bird Hawk Moth. On Sunday we took Elizabeth 2 to our local Château Rivau. It was my first sighting of the moth this year and I love to photograph them.
I hope you enjoyed them...
Don't think I will get my own way with the blog all week... Watch this space!

They must have been out for a Sunday gathering... we were out and about with Tim's lifetime friend this weekend and saw Hummingbird Hawkmoths too.
Tim says he thinks these are great shots.
The speed on your camera is much better than mine, great shots. I saw my first humming bird hawk moth yesterday as well. Diane
Stunning pics, Colin.
Beautiful photos, Colin! But then again I would say that wouldn't I??
Elizabeth in sunny (I wish!) England....
Terrific. I love the way you can see the markings on the wings. I assume they are having a terrible year just like the butterflies so it's nice to see them.
Beautiful photos.
The first time I saw one visiting the flowers in our little French garden I wondered what on earth it was.
great photos. we also have some taken at the Chateau 3 years ago.
