I really like the first one. Beautiful!

I agree with Click, I like these eye level shots!

I agree with Click, I like these eye level shots!

So do I! The top view shots are for recording the top of the wings, but these can be very beautiful. In general, I like to see side views of the body and face for butterflies and dragonflies, with all in focus.

First hummingbird moth this year

Is it already that time?
In Franconia the buddleia are far from blooming. It was much colder here.
Anyway, great shot.

It's sad that part of its shadow is missing. But it's still a very nice shot.
