Description

While visiting Grand Teton National Park, my family hiked the Jenny Lake Trail and stopped for lunch at the String Lake Trailhead and parking lot. While eating lunch, we spotted a mink in the water, which lead to our keeping a close eye on the creek to see if we could spot it again. While the mink never popped up again, I spotted this Hummingbird Moth flying back and forth across the water's surface. I was curious about the moth's behavior, so I snapped lots of photos. Later, when I looked back over what I had captured, I observed that this moth was drinking as it was skipping across the water's surface. This was such a special moment for me because I was able to observe such a unique behavior that is not commonly seen. This photo just shows how even the smallest of creatures are incredible and unique.
