Hummingbird Moth on my Bee Balm

My Bee Balm/Native Bergemot finally starting blooming, and that's when the Hummingbird Moths show up. They're quick little critters and can be a bit frustrating to photograph but the lens/camera worked beautifully to give me some clear shots.

Beautiful image! Bee Balm is a great plant for attracting hummingbirds to a yard.

Nice catch. I haven't seen any this year. They are interesting moths.
