Hawk moths and flowers in October

Lots of Hummingbird Hawkmoths are visiting the flowers this October. They can be seen hovering and sucking nectar from flowers using proboscis. There are several kinds, but I like to look at these 2


The first one, Pellucid Hawk moth オオスカシバ with clear wings



The 2nd, very common, Burnt-spot Hummingbird Hawkmoth, ホシホウジャク, Macroglossum pyrrhosticta











I'm adding a mushroom here, the magnificent Parasol mushroom, カラカサタケ, Macrolepiota procera





Last, a species of Snoutbean, Rhynchosia volubilis, タンキリマメ with shiny beans, that look like they've been polished daily
