Hemaris thysbe, the hummingbird moth visits Leptodermis oblongata

the Leptodermis is in its second flowering which is pretty impressive anyway. It abuts the China Valley Path not too far off the road on the downhill side. I have been noticing butterflies attending upon the flowers for the last few weeks; today I noticed this moth. Since the plants were in full sun the shutter speed was fast enough to stop the wings.
