[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I found an old but interesting picture to bring back some summertime feelings. I think it is the:
hummingbird-moth - Kolibrievlinder - Macroglossum stellatarum (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae).

It is hard to capture because it moves so quick.
Please feel free to visit my butterfly theme

Hi Hendrik,
You are right about the ID and also about their being hard to capture on the wing. You will find one I did in Japan if you look in my back catalogue. A very well-travelled insect. Thanks.
Alan
