Larose forest. A bumblebee mimic. Although when it hovers at flowers, it looks more like a hummingbird, hence the name.

other sizes: small medium original auto

Awesome shot. Wonderfully colorful moth. I was lucky to capture a Shinx Moth (aka the Hummingbird Hawk) on one of my day trips. I was so thrilled. This one is a beauty and the detail is fantastic. Nice work. Vote :)
