Broad Bordered Bee Hawkmoth (Hemaris fuciformis) 2015

We have seen and photographed these creatures for the last two years and it is still enjoyable watching the speed and accuracy of their movement between flowers.

These were taken yesterday on the Salvia "Hot Lips" with a Canon 50D on 8000/sec shutter speed.


Hope you enjoyed them.

Broad Bordered Bee Hawkmoth (Hemaris fuciformis) 2014

When we were returning from our walk on Sunday, eagle eyed Elizabeth spotted this specimen happily feeding on our Verbena.  Interestingly it is where we photographed it in August last year.


She did a fantastic job with her small Canon Ixus 1100...

By the time I had got hold of my big Canon, it had of course moved on but I doubt I could have bettered these.
