Wow. Those are fantastic. I especially like #2. The composition is spot on for me, focus is sharp, no distractions in the frame (except for MAYBE the little extra little flower stem in #1). Very very well executed.

Beautiful captures! I remember the first time I saw one of those in my mom's garden. At first I thought it was a humming bird. But when it retreated from the flower and rolled up its beak....

Those are fantastic shots Carlo as the Hummingbird Hawk Moth is my favourite of the moth species. Well done.
