Default Moth visiting our Ginger
The quality of these pics aren't too hot, but I just had to rush inside to grab my camera when I say this thing. It was getting a little dark too. What I find so cool is that you can tell by how far away he is that his proboscis is looong. In photo #2 you can see it looped up and then down into the flower. Enjoy.

Very cool! But can you post a bigger picture (if possible)? It is not everyday you get to see something like that.
