Sphinx of the Galio sent on August 16, 2013 (9:08) by Gianfranco Fontana. 18 comments, 10562 views.

, 1/8000 f/3.5, ISO 400, hand held. Specie: Macroglossum stellatarum

La Sfinge del galio (Macroglossum stellatarum) è un insetto dell'ordine dei Lepidotteri, conosciuto anche col nome farfalla sfinge o sfinge colibrì.Quando attiva, passa con estrema rapidità da un fiore all'altro senza mai posarsi: resta in volo librato su di essi per pochi secondi battendo velocemente le ali ad una frequenza di circa 200 volte al secondo e protendendo la lunga spirotromba verso i fiori per suggere il nettare, analogamente ai colibrì.

bello complimenti , ci ho provato anch'io con il 24-105 ma ero troppo vicino e l'insetto ( forse non lo stessa specie ma molto simile) scappava

hai scattato con autofocus o manuale?



nice compliments, I've tried it as well with the 24-105 but I was too close and the bug (maybe not the same species but very similar) escaped

've taken with autofocus or manual?

Ottima cattura di un folletto dai fulminei cambi di rotta e dai "rifornimenti" da formula 1. Bravo.

Cattura sicuramente ottima , l'unica cosa e non so' se i miei occhi vedono bene la luce mi sembr un po' diretta.

Capture definitely great, the only thing I do not know 'if my eyes can clearly see the light I look a bit' direct.
