This little fella is happily sucking away at the nectar within this flower. You can see his black tongue stuck out and sucking it up like a straw. I enjoyed taking this photo. Watching his tongue curl up when finished and then he would move on to the next. He didn’t care that I was up close and personal either. I also love his compound eyes.
It may seem silly but photographing this little fella really made my day. I felt privileged and was in awe for some time afterwards. Sometimes the simplest, smallest things, if you stop and appreciate will give you the most satisfaction.
Glorious colors and beautiful bokeh, Ken!
Thanks Gina. Appreciate it. This one was fun.
