Hawk-Moth

[ACB]

Hi all, this Hummingbird Hawk-moth was taken in June 2009
in the garden of a friend in Suffolk
It might have been better without the OOF flower but it
didn't hang around long enough for me to think about
anything other then getting a shot of it!

Canon eos40D/ ef100mm macro handheld
Exif; f2.8; 1/2500sec; iso400; 0ev:



C & C welcome, thanks for looking!
