So here is a video I took with my iPhone yesterday, August 25, 2017 at about 4:30PM Eastern US time. The same time I was taking the pictures above with my camera. I would REALLY like to see a Jättesvärmare or Nattsvärmare now that I know about them. Make the video full screen for a better view. At 0:22 you can hear me whisper, “Ahh, beautiful!”

I agree. I am totally captivated by them. I just spent 2 hours sitting silently in a chair waiting but only one short sighting today. Gone before I even got my camera ready.

Don’t want to call it a death’s-head? In Dutch, they’re called Doodshoofdvlinder; in French, le sphinx à tête de mort; in German, Totenkopfschwärmer; in Spanish, cabeza de muerto; and in Swedish, Dödskallesvärmare.
A. atropos is the fastest moth in the world; it can fly at speeds up to 30mph! The insects can also hover like hummingbirds as they drink nectar from flowers.

Went to opening night at the US OPEN Tennis tournament. The site of the 1964 World’s Fair, which my father brought me to. I snapped this picture while sneaking a cigarette in the stairway. You might recognize the objects on the right. :^)

Here we call “Picaflor” to this bird. This year on of them got into my covered back garden of my house. I’ve help it to get out and release, here a picture :)
PS: You can see the long of tongue

Rather than post another hummingbird video (there is a link above) I decided to post a timelapse video of the moonflowers in my yard that bloom at sundown every day. Took my old iPad and stacked a few milk crates for a stand. Voila!
