East Sussex, England. I've never seen one of these moths before, to be honest I didn't know they exsisted. I hope it returns as i now have a camera by my back door! September 15th, 2006 at 5.30pm

I was absolutely fascinated by it when I thought it was a hummingbird. Completely captured when I noticed it was an insect. I watch a lot of discovery channel. This one must have escaped me.

It flies exactly like hummingbirds but this have antenas, so I knew it was an insect. I took a series of pictures of it, but they were not as clear and beautiful like this.
