Re: Hummingbird moth
Thank you, Matt. The "probe" is its tounge which can reach deep into the flower for nectar.

Re: Hummingbird moth
A good shot but I would slightly and selectively tone down a few of the brighter background spots.

Re: Hummingbird moth
Now we know why it is called a hummer moth -- they both can extend their tongue longer than usual...Good timely capture!
