Gorgeous insect, amazing shots! Talk about being in the right place ar the right time!

I was not familiar with this moth, so I looked it up, and wow, these guys are huge:

MothSize (Adult; Length): 87mm to 96mm (3.42" to 3.77" )

In the second pic, I was really struck by how much the body shape resembles a hummingbird...and it's big enough to be one, too!

I learn so much just by hanging around DU!
