Hummingbird Moth

 I was out in the garden the other day and saw something that resembled a hummingbird flying near the zinnias. Upon further inspection I saw it was a Hummingbird Moth. I love bugs and flowers and together this was pretty fun to see. Hummingbird Moths can beat their wings up to 70 beats per second and hover over the flower much like a hummingbird.  I got my nicer camera and used the zoom to get a few shots. I enjoy seeing all the pollinators that this big swatch of zinnias bring in.
