Gorgeous photography! As fast as the wings on those moths move... it's amazing to catch it in such clarity!

Sweet, johnny, that's awesome! I gotta get me a real camera too!!
That looks suspiciously like a tomato hornworm moth, might want to keep an eye on those veggies!!

That there's a 5-Spotted Hawkmoth (the moth of the tomato hornworm!  ). Bumblebee moths and hummingbird moths have clear wings. |
