perch_destroyer Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Wrong season, but during these cold months, see what we have to look forward to real soon. Took this photo last year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Almquist Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 PD I think what you shot was a some type of moth and maybe a Luna but it is not a Hummingbird. The lack of a beak is the tell tale sign.It is a very cool picture and I think that is the same thing that I saw up at the cabin last summer. I will look through mt pictures and see if I can dig one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnbay Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 This is a species of "hummingbird moth", of which there are several. These are great pix. Here's a shot of a "clearwing" that I got last summer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Almquist Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 its really a log that answers to the name of Abby. Now that is just to funny I like how you got the bee waiting for his turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeguy 54 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Nice, I think the first one is a spynx moth. We see them in the fall. That nose rolls out almost a foot long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeguy 54 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hwood cool pics is that a bear or a dog in the background of the first one lol?! good eye! I hope you don't mind, I cropped it a lightened it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdsong Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 That is one long probosis! Good pictures perchdestroyer. And Hwood, I'm afraid I had a neighbor that called his 'log' a yard whale. I think that bee might be a chameleon in disguise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perch_destroyer Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Good pictures perchdestroyer. Thanks, I enjoy taking these kinda photos when I can (out hunting or fishing). Not to shabby for a Kodak easy share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perch_destroyer Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 windowpane, thanks for the clarification. I assumed it was some type of hummingbird based on it's flight pattern, dang near identical. I google'd the spynx moth, your right, I wondered what that thing was.
