Had another go at the hummingbird hawk moth

photolady95 · 03-29-2020, 02:23 AM

Those hummingbird moths are hard to catch in flight. I tried while living in Minnesota with a K1000 and only a few were in focus. Yours are much better Noel, but then you have a K-30, right?

Notice the white aphid on the left of the lower shot. The ants keep these for 'farm' animals in a symbiotic relationship.

Symbiotic Ants and Aphids Have a Strong Relationship

I very much enjoy these creatures Walter so I am enjoying your images.

I knew that curious white fellow was there, but decided not to mention it.

Sorry - I am a teacher and have a irrepressible urge to explain, describe and inform

I was a teacher (professor) too, and have a tendency to type too much when posting an image. Sometimes I resist, but "resistance is futile."

Autumn in NZ - days are shortening and bees and wasps are keen to get their collecting done.
