for everyone

We have an abundance of these due to all of our flowers.There are several species of this moth but this particular one is called the White-lined Sphinx Hummingbird moth. They are the neatest moth because they look like and fly a bit like a Hummingbird and some are even bigger then a Hummingbird. Enjoy the beauty of these gems in flight.

Is it ok to upload pics from HTML format??

ruthscreations wrote on Sep 3, '06

yea, that is just the format from the net. As long as you have antivirus running in real time you will be fine. My computer is clean and so you will have no worries as long as someone doesn't mess with my files on here.. if that is what your talking about it...

Hey Ruthie..Just wondering what type of flowers those are?? I think they are what I call Moonflowers....they only come out at night and close up during day.......Charlie says cool video!!!!

Yep you got it right they are moon flowers...they have the most subtle sweet smell to them. The Moths flock to them, we had 6 of them out there the other night!! What a treat. Tell Charles.....HEY!!! Love you guys!

Neat little guy huh? I could watch these all night long, what interesting creatures indeed... I don't consider myself a photographer AT ALL but I love my little camera and I love nature so I guess with that combination......VOILA!! Nature Photos! I am a complete idiot when It comes to photography I just happened on a camera that is a "camera for dummies" LOL!!
