some kind of bee

Hi all!! This is the first pic I upload, hope you like it. I was takin' some pics to this flowers and this bug appeared. It amazed me how the camera was capable to capture this bug i couldn't even see. Comments are welcome!!

I think that's a hummingbird moth.

Ditto thats not a bee, but a humming bird moth. Cool pics!!!!!

Definitely a hummingbird moth. Great capture.

Very, very difficult bug to capture. Nicely done. --Rick

The first time I saw one I thought the same thing, "man that's the biggest bee in the world", then "damn that's a little bird". The a few pictures and some time searching the internet and I figured out what it was. Now I've seen one for the last three years.

First time I saw one of those was when I started gardening back in 1987 and the same time I got my first real SLR. Wait till you see the Hawk Moths at night if you really like these guys

. They should come around the same flowers as the hummingbird moth. I grew Daturas that the Hawk moths really loved...heavily scented at night and huge white blossoms!

Nice shot!

I've seen those around here a few times... cute little "buggers", lol.
