Here is a lovely shot of a Humming-bird Hawk-moth in Provence. It was taken on our July butterfly watching holiday in this beautiful part of France by Jim, one of our guests. The group enjoyed over 100 butterfly species during the week, plus some great moths – day fliers like these and Broad-bordered Bee Hawk-moth plus numerous species caught in moth traps at night.

I am in the Dordogne and we have loads of these types in the garden plus lots of the other species which is a joy to watch, video and take photos of.
