Saw two of them last night.. couldn't get pictures of both! Tried... was taking shots pretty blind as I had all the lights off & was watching for movement in the agastache.





Made this into a banner. I'm hoping that the banner people approve it! I'm rather proud of it...

Love all the pics and the banner! Hope to see your banner on the main page!

What Agastache is that?

Wow! Hummingbird moths are difficult subjects. Your banner looks wonderful.

Marilyn - A. cana.. I think it's Sonoran Sunset.. but I do remember the tag stating just A. cana w/o a cultvar name.

Mary - They weren't difficult subjects to photograph.. just hard to see in the dark!! Gotta love a point-n-shoot camera.. I tried to take pictures w/my phone, but they kept flying to the flash!!



Used my DH's Sony CyberShot DSC-WX150 for this. It's a super simple camera as he, a major IT guy, couldn't figure out my Canon Rebel 3 (heck, I can't figure it out either, but he has no excuse.. he's a geek!). Turned off all the lights so that it was as dark as possible and just used the street lights to watch for movement in the Agastache, then hoped I was pointing the camera in the right direction & pressed the button. Almost 100% of the pictures came out "ok"!

Ooooh so neat! I saw my first one live two weeks ago. So bizare!

Nice photos! Agastache are my favorites this year!

They're my favorite every year!

Couldn't get any pictures last night, but I've got 4 hummingbird moths now that check out the agastaches every night. They're definitely not afraid of humans as one of them smacked right into my chest & another kept buzzing my glasses.

Lucky you! I haven's seen any here, yet this year.
