EDITORS COMMENTS

With a close-up view that reveals every intricate detail, it's hard not to be mesmerized by these tiny creatures. Their delicate bodies and graceful movements make them true stars of the insect kingdom. As members of the Lepidoptera family, commonly referred to as hawk moths or sphinx moths, these five-spotted wonders bring a touch of elegance to any garden landscape.

This single snapshot captures their youthful energy and reminds us that even insects can have a playful side! So next time you spot one of these cheeky caterpillars in your backyard, take a moment to appreciate their natural charm. Thanks to Ken Lucas' skillful photography skills, we get an up-close encounter with these North American natives without having to venture too far from home.
