In case you were wondering about the name - pink elephants being strictly for the drunk - it comes from their grey, eyed caterpillars which resemble jumbos' trunks.<br /><br />The Hummingbird Hawk is lovely to watch but very hard to photograph as it never keeps still. It's actually larger than some South American humming birds. <br /><br />The natural world, eh. Never short of interest<br /><br />All warm wishes<br /><br />MartinMartinWainwrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08383027708524885786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939528489287886153.post-35026004295565941432011-09-07T08:46:28.310+01:002011-09-07T08:46:28.310+01:00OH WOW!
