[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In mu serie moths here an other one I saw. I have no idea what the name is but maybe you can help me.

I know that the picture is not perfect but I liked to show you any way.

Here are the other pictures: 1, 2 and 3.

Maybe it is a Snowberry Clearwing Hummingbird Moths
or the Broad-bordered Bee Hawkmoth Hemaris fuciformis (Linnaeus, 1758). Thanks to Cosmin Manci for the identification.

Very good shot of this moth!
Quite a dificult job! But you did it!
When it flies makes a lot of noise, like a helli!
Rare in Portugal.
