Regarding a Q&A that was posted on 14/10/2009 about a particular Hummingbird Moth from Japan (Cephonodes hylas). I got a decent picture of the female today in Kusatsu city near Lake Biwa just north of Kyoto, Japan. She must have been tuckered out from mating all month because she sat surprisingly still for sometimes being called a ”Hummingbird” moth. Here are two links to my photos.
