Buggy Days

No, not Muggy Days....Buggy Days. Lots of different bugs; some I know, some I don't have a clue. I did try several times to get a shot of the Hummingbird Clearwing's wings.  Never really managed it despite trying very high shutter speeds and I even tried using flash at manual 1/32 power. I'm going to have to read up on photographing hummingbirds to see how they freeze the wings. I think that the Moth's wings beat even faster than a Hummingbirds.
