yesterday's twilight feeding - moths and tuberose

Hummingbird moths having a sumptuous, nectar-laden feast at the tuberose patch yesterday:




I started one drawing of tuberose two days ago and hope to finish it and post it soon. 

The intoxicating scent of the blossoms seems to echo at dusk, until the entire patch is fluttering and humming with moths, interrupted by the occasional loud buzzing of some sort of large wasp that feeds on the hummingbird moths.
