Hummingbird Hawk Moth feeding on Lavender

A Hummingbird Hawkmoth (Macroglossum stellatarum) hovers over Lavender whilst its incredibly long proboscis probes each individual flower for nectar with military precision. The main challenge of capturing this image was the incredibly quick and erratic movement of the moth. Even with a minimum shutter speed 1/2000sec there’s still some blurred movement in the wings which shows just how fast they are beating.
