Hummingbird Moths are out tonight.

I've been trying to get a picture of them setting but they keep moving. You have to set your camera at a fast speed to stop their wings. And you have to put a lot of light on them when it's dark outside.

Hummingbird Moths love my Cleomi flowers. So do bees. Lots of nectar and pollen on each flower.
