A friend had some success photographing a hummingbird moth at a wildlife garden we frequent. Luck was on our side too on a recent visit. This moth beats its wings at great speeds so I was pleased to get this photo and several others in decent focus (of the hundreds I took). Not an easy subject but oh, when it works😊.

A cracking shot. I have NEVER got a shot as good as that, or anywhere near it! RH

Nice Belinda! They are fun to photograph! We liked going to Longwood Gardens In Pennsylvania to photograph in them in their meadow area. They are extremely active and quick moving, so it took some practice and high shutter speeds!!

They are fun and challenging. I’ve only seen one or two at a time. I can’t imagine a slew of them. Thank you Reed!

Great capture Belinda! I know how hard it is to ‘nail’ one of these critters, thank goodness for big memory cards and delete buttons!

I can see why it’s called hummingbird. Nice shot of those fast-beating wings.

There’s a larger variety that resemble the bird even more. Thanks!
