INSECTS
The photos that I chose for this week's contest topic were taken this week in the Chicago Botanical Garden. The first time I saw a sphinx/hummingbird moth in my flower garden I thought it was a hummingbird until I looked closer. Similarly to hummingbirds they
hover in midair while they feed on nectar from flowers.
I am not an insect authority, but I found this info about them.
The Sphingidae are a family of moths commonly called sphinx moths, also colloquially known as hawk moths, with many of their caterpillars known as hornworms.
Wikipedia
Here they range from Central America north into the United States and into southern Canada. Known as a Bee Moth in Europe, they seem to range over much of the world
all photos are from my family albums

Gracias! ♥️
¡🙏❤️!
Nice photo, you shot it in the right moment! Nice, Godspeed!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed seeing it.
Nice timely capture..
Thanks! Lucky to have seen while camera was in hand.
Ohh wow the zoom, you must be really careful not to make the insect noticed it is being modeled
In this case cropping helped bring it closer!
Some phones wont get the beauty even if its cropped the lens or camera u use must be top notch
That close up pic is B-E-A utiful!
Thanks! I love how we can see so much detail with the camera,
Very cool insects! I've only seen them a couple of times in my life. It's so cool to see them hover in front of a flower. Impressive how you managed to capture it in flight with its tongue rolled out. Wonderful capture!
If it wasn't a promotion post it would certainly be one of the winning shots!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! I hope this post reminds others to enter the contest!
I have seen a few. They are such wonderful creatures.
Beautiful to watch.
Have a nice day 👋🏻😊

What a wonderful and cute insect! They also live occasionally in my region, and we also jokingly call them "hummingbirds."
Just one word for this photography, Wow amazing beautiful and Fabolous. Oops these are not on word. But really so adorable.
I've seen this insect here at the farm a few times and wasn't sure what the heck it was, mystery resolved.
