Thanks everyone! Sadly I realized how fun it was to shoot bugs at the END of summer! Still a few months left though.

The hummingbird moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) has always been a neat one to watch.

Yes, those hummingbird moths are amazing. They love the spider flower (cleome) we have in the back yard.

Since Jeff posted his photos, I have now seen easily a dozen of those skippers cavorting about in both the front and back yard. Amazing how once someone calls your attention to something, you start seeing it everywhere! :D
