I harassed this bee so much I don't think he'll ever come back to my garden! The sphinx moth flew right at me. Like the motion of the wings.

Thanks Bob but I cannot take the credit. I was trying to shoot the bee and he just appeared!

Thanks Dewman! As I've already confessed the shot was totally controlled by the moth - if I had tried for that - well, you know.... I probably took 200 shots of the bee and 2 of the moth. Go figure!
