Michael,
I was scratching my head thinking, what organ can this hummingbird have that resembles an insect's antennae! Then I remembered a reference by Maggie Terlockie, I believe in "hummingbird moths", so this must be another one such little creature and a wonderful catch!
How fast to the move from flower to flower? Do the flit as fast as hummingbirds?

Nice Shot, Michael, Nice to see you around again 
Yes, Asher, they are the same thing except the ones that come here have a portion of their wing that is clear and you can see through it.

Hi Maggie,
Thanks.
They fly like hummingbirds, maybe there are some slight differences.
There are both varieties in Europe.

Michael, a little luck yes. A bucketload of skill too I would say.
First one is very, very good. Second one is awesome.
And what amazing creatures.

Andy, Klaus,
Thanks!
Insect macros are not my focus, both shots were from occasions I could not let pass.
-> Maggie: I like the ones in your other thread and especially the two you added later. Needs a lot of practice to get to that level!

Michael, I am like you, simply opportunities I could not pass by and I was just lucky to get the shots that I did.
This second one is very similar to the ones here except more brown, but has the same clearwing. They are such a surprise to find.
Love this image, by the way!!
