This isn't a question for a change, but my friend's picture simply gave me so much pleasure that I thought some of you might like to share it. Lynette took it in her garden in Grahamstown, South Africa. She has got photos of a couple of species there recently, and remarks that autumn down here is when she sees them most, Hummingbird Sphingidae showing up later. The photo looks like a cultivate Pelargonium variety.

And here is the other one, apparently a different species and Lynette says, too skittish for her to get close enough for a good shot. She caught it on a Plumbago.
