I took this photo in July, this year at Achensee, Austria on the balcony of our small hotel room. This animal moves in the air like a lunatic, extremeky energetic and brisk. It comes at night to such nectar from the flowers, but can occasionally be also seen during the day. This shot perpetuates this creature in flight, as it was descending on the flower. I hope some of you will like it.

Thanks very much, Jon & RTDS! Yes, these move extremely fast but they stay put when sucking the nectar. However, as opposed to butterflies, they do not settle on the flower but hover above it. Maybe to be able to escape better when danger approaches.

Agree,they hover above the flowers and use their extremly long toungue and also be more avare of danger..like us photographers
