Wonderful shot, Kostas. Love the fluttering yellow wings and bright eye. Is this some kind of moth? We some similar ones that look like hummingbirds at a distance.

A very cool capture. I am shocked that you were able to get such good details without a flash at only 1/250's. It would be nice if we knew what it was and where it was taken. :)
