Sitting outside in the sunshine, i noticed a kind of butterfly that I thought have seen before. because they move so quick and never sit still for a while. I told his to stay so that I could grab my camera for a better view.
Which he did.
He moved from one violet to another and I was able to get some nice pics.
I looked it up. I thought it was a hummingbird-butterfly, as we name it here. but they gave me a different name, which appeared later to be the same one.
Got some lovely close ups...while he is drinking violet-nectar.
Broad-bordered bee hawk-moth, Glasvleugelpijlstaart, Kolibrievlinder, Hemaris fuciformis.
He seems to be a night moth, but he's flying during the day.
Such a beauty!
