Description
When a hummingbird moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) wants honey he rolls out his loooong 'tongue', puts it in a flower and sucks. When satisfied he rolls his tongue back in and flies away. As simple as that. My goal was to catch this precise (and very short) moment and I think I succeeded on this.

I saw one of those while in a drive-through to get dinner. Scared the crap out of me since I'd never even heard of Hummingbird Moths before.
