It has taken wildlife photographer Andrew Fusek Peters 4 years to finally catch these stunning shoto in August 2022 of a hummingbird hawkmoth with fully spread wings in his garden nectaring on valerian. This moth beats its wings 80 times a second, so fast that it emits an audible hum – to freeze the motion took a shutter speed of 1/12800 of a second. Due to the very hot summer, this has been one of the best ever years for this migrant from the continent which is now suspected to be breeding here.
