I photographed a wedding on Saturday and saw this little guy and grabbed a shot. I wasn't very zoomed in at the time since I was testing the 24-70 sigma @sjarvie5 just got. (great lens)
HUMMING MOTH?
I have seen a few humming BIRDS in my life and this did not look like one.
Anyway I figure someone out there will know.
Maybe I'll reward the person with the best insight/link with an SBI from @steembasicincome just for fun.
Where were we? Payson, Utah
CLOSER VIEW?
You can even click to see it larger
45 MegaPixels is nice
I guess this is the part where i show that all that detail and zoomed in view came from this shot
It's a Sphinx Moth, also common in Arizona.
Full vote for the right info!!
Thanks for real... i knew someone would pull through.
Thanks I appreciate that. We have marveled at these moths for many years, because they so closely resemble a hummingbird they even drink nectar from flowers. Thanks again!
Awesome so glad someone knew what it is.
Thanks' It's always nice to solve one mystery so we can get on to the next!
Love all the colors in the photo. Great you got the moth in focus.

I prefer the first (not cropped) image. Those OOF flower add to the feeling of depth.
