Artist's Comments

When a hummingbird moth 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. :D My goal was to catch this precise (and very short) moment and I think I succeeded on this.

Ooh, I've always wanted to capture these fellows. I never manage to, however, when I finally see one. They're too fast!
