Todays exciting capture.
While wandering around looking for bugs to photograph, and while taking a picture of a bee on chives, right before my eyes was......correct me if I'm wrong....but I think it's a Hummingbird Hawk Moth. I can only say that I was so excited I nearly got sick and when taking the pictures off onto the computer I got even sicker worried that none of the photos turned out.

superb capture OC
OMG those pictures are amazing.... well done you!
Those are awesome shots OC!!!
If you're feeling sick while taking macro shots, it might be because you are unconsciously holding your breath to keep your shot steady. When I first got my macro lens I thought there was something wrong with it because I got dizzy and nauseous every time I used it. remember to breathe.
Wonderful pictures OC - not easy as the move so fast!! Good for you :D
What can I say but WOW. Perfect shots!!!!!!!
You're all so generous with your compliments, thanks. I was so excited as I rarely get to see one of these. Janine, I must pay attention and see if I've stopped breathing while taking macro shots, lol. You could be right.
WOW!! Those are amazing.....what a beautiful creature...
Not sure if you *do* these things or not, but I left one for you anyway....:)

Really great photos, OC. I planted lots of nicotiana to attract them but haven't seen a one so far this year. They look so soft and furry;)
