Number 4 Mike. it looks challenging with the bug in flight. Nice exposures too.

Well done shots--from good angles too.
I like the design of those leaves where the moth is stealing nectar from the hummingbirds.
Angky.

Thanks for your comments. Even with high shutter speeds, I still get some motion blur.
