Hawk Moth on a Moon Flower

A hawk moth perches delicately on the edge of a white flower set against a dark background, highlighting the contrast between the insect's patterned wings and the smooth petals. The scene captures a moment of stillness and elegance in the natural world.

These moths move very fast and are difficult to photograph. I was very pleased to get this shot!
