doppelbird

A doppleganger for a bird! Three hummingbird moths were hovering around this flowered bush yesterday! They are huge, 2 by 2 inches and I think the proboscis that curls up must be another 2 or 3 inches long. Beautiful!

And where am I with these strange bird like moths?

For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: doppelganger.

    Great photo of a hard subject.
    I haven’t seen one yet this year. They are a pleasure to watch.

      Thank you! They were tricky and are so quick and I was trying not to chase them off. I was hovering over the bush too.
