That is it (Macroglossum stellatarum). Rather rare here in Switzerland, especially so so late in the season. It visited us again this morning.

You had a great opportunity here, but you need to expose so that you don't blow out the highlights.

That's why I used -2EV. Also, the critter is very very fast....

I agree. These are very nice shots, but a bit overexposed.

If you do not mind, I took the freedom to try one of your picture...

What you think, Noel?

I'm glad if you liked it.

Just some PP, to curb overall brightness and bring back some highlights.
