Ciao Victor,
hai realizzato veramente una bella foto in volo di questo Sfingide.
Si tratta però di Hyles livornica (Esper, 1780).
Puoi controllare questa pagina web.
Ancora buon 2008,
Marcello

Hi Vicma,

A fantastic capture of this in-flight moth. You froze it perfectly showing us all the details of the head, wings and body. The colors are remarkable - of the insect and of the flowers. A beautiful composition.

Great stop action inflight of the White-lined Sphinx Moth Vicma..I think these burgundy(boginvilla)? makes it a very nice catch.

Toma muy interesante Victor. De entrada mucha elegancia con esa buguenvílea de fondo que además está a juego con su blanco y fucsia con el insecto. Sacaste buen partido al flash, ya que la luz es la justa y creo que no modifica los colores de la esfinge. Para rematarla, congelaste a la protagonista de maravilla y eso que parece que está en vuelo. Buen encuadre. Una toma preciosa.

Hola Buen Amigo Victor.- Exelente imagen. Muy agradables colores y un muy buen uso del flash.
Me sorprende que con solo 1/40 las alas de esta palomilla se vean muy claras. Los colores de las flores de la bugambilia son muy bellos tambien.
Muy hermosa tu foto Victor.
Saludos y un fuerte abrazo de parte de la familia. Aqui esta Lidia viendo tu foto tambien.

Bonjour Victor,
Bravo pour cette image rare et très spectaculaire. La netteté est remarquable, aussi bien sur les ailes et le corps de l'insecte que sur les fleurs de la bougainvillée.
Avec tous mes voeux pour une très heureuse année 2008
Amicalement

Hi Victor,

a wonderful, colourful in-flight capture of a hawkmoth - remarkably clear and perfectly frozen in motion by flash.

ID - Agree with Marcello this species looks much more like Hyles livornica (Esper, 1780)
GB: The Striped Hawkmoth,
D: Linienschwärmer,
E: esfíngido de la vid, oruga de esteva.

The site "Sphingidae of the Western Palaearctic" is an excellent and very complete source that is highly recommended:

Hola Víctor,
Una foto estupenda, has congelado bien en el aire a esa bellísima polilla, dispuesta a alimentarse de lo que parece son santa ritas (Bouganvillea sp),plantas oriundas de Brasil. Excelente trabajo

Alucine!! ¡Qué foto!!
Vaya precisión de enfoque y qué nitidez! Me encantan los detalles de la esfinge, sobre todo en las alas y el ojo, y también los detalles y el colorido de la buganvilla. En conjunto es una composición maravillosa. ¡Qué suerte! Yo intenté una vez sacarle fotos a otra esfinge, pero me salieron todas borrosas.
Felicidades y muchas gracias.
