Awesome shot! I have seen these guys only a few times, and every time I try to photograph them, all I get is a blur. Very good!

Cool shot 🙂 Sphinx Moths and Humming Birds will be abundant here in N.E.Tennessee, when my Canna Lilies bloom in the next couple weeks, through September! https://washekoda.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/canna-lilies-35.jpg
