About Well it looks like one to me. I have been tracking down this hummingbird moth for days now. He usually arrives near dark making it difficult to get a fast enough shutter speed. Today he came a little earlier, and I managed to slow him down at about 1/3000 of a second.

Great macro shot. It does look like a flying lobster. I think I would like it more if the (moth?) and flower had been composed to the left a little more. Just so the moth isn't in the center so much, but I wasn't there and that may have been the best way to compose it.

See ya, Pat

Great Shot Alan...I'm assuming you used a tripod,,yes?. I get a lot of these moths & don't know if I could get a shot like this one...Well done!! Adding to my favorites. I never knew they looked like this.
