A Bug's Life

Today I went wandering around out in the yard looking for a picture. I took a few of the flowers in my Mom's garden, some wet leaves in the sunlight, and finally I made my way to the beebalm.

At first I just wanted pictures of the flowers, then I spotted a bumble bee gathering pollen. And then I saw it.

My sisters call it a humming bird moth. I call it hard to photograph.

This bug, whatever it is, obviously did not want its photo taken. It took me about 10 shots to finally catch it.
