    It's been a long time since I've posted any pictures.
    I hope you all like this one taken in France in the summer.

        Well taken Ian, the head & antennae are pretty sharp - difficult on a creature that is always moving. For info. it's not a bee though - it's a moth ( Macroglossum stellatarum) also known as the Hawk-Moth.

          Great image but as others have said on your other posts, direct upload will make it soft. Upload from Flickr for best quality. There are instructions here:

                it's a moth ( Macroglossum stellatarum) also known as the Hawk-Moth.
                No, this is one of the Bee Hawkmoths, probably the Broad-bordered Hemaris fuciformis.
                Macroglossum stellatarum, the Hummingbird Hawkmoth doesn't have the partly transparent wings.
